g2 rev.1 secret modes?

[nicko42004200]

Noticed when checking revision. If while holding p.p. push left arrow the right. It will have 4 differnt modes you can lock on. There kinda like u2, up, g2, and another. I didnt rite them down. I will later. Anybody know what these do? Messing around with a nickel late last night just flipping modes it seemed to change depth on air a little. Any one know or try it yourself. I asked mr. Dave but couldent recall. So I post this. And will call teck monday if we cant figure it out.

Now that's interesting...didn't know this.

I'd be very interested to hear what these modes are, and what they do...

nothing happened....might be doing something wrong. I held the PP button then pushed left arrow, then right, nothing. thanks

You may have to start with it turned off and pp held down when you turn it on.

Hello you all!

That was a routine we implemented for testing purposes.
Going up you should see a word spelled out and then "GB" and as you move up, you will see the bargraph moving as if you were modifying the discrimination setting.
Which you are, by the way.

Apparently we forgot to remove it!

It does not have any effect on the performance of the machine.
Also, it is not present on later versions of the code.


I am sorry for the confusion this may have generated.
I had forgotten about this "feature".

Happy Hunting! =)

thank you for the information. I figure your one of the engineers of the unit.

Thank you for the clarification, sir! (Yes, Nick, he's one of the engineers at First Texas).
