7.4 MENU MODE

Menu Mode commands allow virtually the same
functionality as programming commands. Unlike
the programming commands, menu commands
prompt the user to select from a list of available
options. The system then responds based upon
selections made by the user.

The menu driven commands are only available with
MultiTasker systems that have the following front
panel firmware:

690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later.
690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later.
690-0124-018 = Version 018 or later.

Send the command [VER] and the system will
respond with feedback that includes the following:

690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018

Check the last three digits against the numbers
above to determine if Menu Mode is available.

7.4.2 USING MENU MODE

1.

In order to enter menu mode, the system

needs to be connected to a computer
running RS-232 control software.

2.

In the Terminal Window, press ENTER on

the keyboard.

The system interrogates all cards and

returns a list of cards and their ID numbers.

Example: 08: MT109-100

NOTE: Only cards supporting the menu

feature will be displayed.

4.

Enter the two-digit ID and a menu for the

card will be displayed. In the example

except those relating to the desired menu.
Press ENTER after "08" and the original
prompt will be displayed.

After selecting the MT109-100 as described

above, the system will prompt for selections
specific to that card.

Read each menu carefully, and continue

selecting keys as prompted for further
functions. (Example prompt: "Key= ")
