[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an input panel used for a recording device or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a part of a conventional input panel. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 3 denotes an entire input panel, and 31 denotes a record for stepwise setting, for example, how many volts a full scale corresponds to a signal. A sensitivity setting unit 32 adjusts a reference position (origin) of a signal with respect to a recording width, for example. Reference numeral 33 denotes an on / off switch of a filter for cutting a desired frequency band of the input signal, reference numeral 341 denotes an adjustment knob for finely adjusting the sensitivity setting (vernier); An on / off switch.

The sensitivity setting device 31 of the input panel 3 shown in FIG.
Is composed of a rotary switch provided inside the device and a knob portion protruding from the surface of the device. In this device, the adjustment is performed manually, and the adjusted state is indicated by the respective changeover switch, setting device,
It is stored by the mechanical position of the regulator knob and is controlled by hardware provided at that position.

Another example of a conventional input panel is shown in FIG. In this device, instead of mechanically storing the adjustment state as in the former device, a method is employed in which necessary data is stored in a memory and an electronic switch is controlled in accordance with the stored contents of the memory. In the figure, 41 is a recording sensitivity setting device, 42 is an adjuster for adjusting the position of a signal to be recorded, 43 is a filter, 44 is a vernier, and 45 is a changeover switch.

To input a numerical value to be stored in the memory, the numerical value of the counter is increased or decreased by a key switch and stored in the memory via a decoder. The numerical value of the counter is displayed by an LED (light emitting diode) 46, and the input state is confirmed and adjusted by observing which position of the LED emits light.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In the former device,
The knob portion must protrude from the surface of the recording device by at least a height that can be pinched. For this reason, when used in a small-sized recording apparatus, the knob portion must be configured to be small, causing a problem that the operation becomes difficult. In addition, since the apparatus is constituted by the rotary switch and the knob, a circular hole is required on the surface of the apparatus, which causes problems such as waterproofing, dustproofing, and chemical resistance. In the latter device, in consideration of the above problem, an input panel in which a resin such as polycarbonate is formed in a sheet shape is used, and the key switch is configured not to protrude from the device surface. However, for a user who has been using the former device for a long time, the method of displaying the setting state of the latter panel as shown in FIG. 4 is difficult to intuitively understand, and this makes the device difficult to handle. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and in a push key type input panel,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an input panel such as a recording device in which the display of input setting information can be intuitively understood.

[0008]

In the input panel of the recording apparatus or the like according to the present invention, display means for displaying the setting state is arranged on the circumference so that the setting state can be intuitively understood. It is configured to:

[0009]

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of the present invention.
In the figure, 1 is an input panel, 10 is a recording sensitivity setting unit (hereinafter abbreviated as range) for setting stepwise how many volts a full scale signal corresponds to, 101 is a range decreasing switch, and 102 is a range decreasing switch. Range increase switch, 1
03 is an LED for displaying a range setting value, 11 is an adjuster for adjusting a reference position (origin) of a signal with respect to a recording width, 12 is a filter for cutting a desired frequency band of an input signal, and 13 is a type of input signal. Switch.

In the range setting section 10, the setting value display LEDs 103 are arranged on the circumference of the setting switches 101 and 102 so as to change in a clockwise direction from a large range width to a small range width around the setting switches 101 and 102. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, wherein 21 is an up / down counter, 22 is a decoder, 23 is a memory, and 24 is a CPU.

The user operates the key switch 101 or 102
Introducing a pulse from the pulse source (not shown) to act on the counter 21 to increase or decrease the value of the counter 21. The value of the counter 21 is stored in the memory 23 via the decoder 22 and sent to the CPU 24.
The CPU 24 receives the data from the decoder 22 and
Circumferentially arranged at approximately equal intervals corresponding to each setting state
The turned on LED 103 is turned on . To reduce the range , press the key switch 102 to arrange in steps.
This shifting the lighting of the LED103 group that is in a clockwise direction
Can be. Similarly, to increase the range , pressing the key switch 101 turns on the LEDs 103.
It can be shifted in a counterclockwise direction.

[0012]

As described above, the input panel of the recording apparatus and the like of the present invention allows the user to intuitively understand the setting state of the signal, and uses the conventional recording apparatus using a rotary switch. Thus, there is an effect that even a user who can handle the push key type recording apparatus without feeling uncomfortable.
