The OLED Display

The OLED display shows useful information such as current wifi status and strength, IP addresses of network interfaces, V Mount battery voltage and record status information such as time remaining to record. It also shows device stats such as temperature, CPU and RAM usage to allow engineers to monitor the status of the units.

The Buttons

The sygnalTX 2x3 has three large buttons on the left hand side which allow for quick operation of commonly needed functions without having to use the web GUI or sygnalCONTROL.

The first button is record. When pressed, it will illuminate and pulse red, indicating that the unit is now recording. The OLED display will show the current filename and the remaining record time on disk.

The second button is identify. When short - pressed, the unit's buttons will do a "chase" indicating that the identify function is running. Simultaneously, all open browser GUIs will flash brightly, and the unit will move to the top of the device list in sygnalCONTROL and flash, making it clear which unit is being identified. 
When long-pressed (button held for longer than 5 seconds), the device will enter Access Point mode. This will allow an engineer to connect to the device directly via its own wifi network, enabling them to do first time configuration such as set the SSID and password.

The third button is a user-defined button. The function of this button can be defined in the GUI's SYSTEM page, or in sygnalCONTROL.
