INSTRUMENT STATUS DISPLAY
Select the ABB icon to access and select the status function. If no communi-
cations data file (sio.dat) exists a message noting that sio.dat not found is dis-
played. Make sure your serial port is set properly (Section 4.5).
The instrument status display, below, allows the user to read or write the cur-
rent, main, default or memory module data base of a specified instrument.
When reading or writing a specific block, use the block and occurrence number
listed in the .CRF file for your database (see Appendix A), NOT the block Tag
Name. The response to the command sent to the instrument is displayed at
the bottom of the response area and is scrolled up through 15 lines by addi-
tional commands. Table 5-2 lists the commands supported by this display.
