INQUIRING:
The same menu system that is used for programming the
Express II is also used to verify programming. To check the
programming of a particular parameter, just follow the same
steps as if programming, except start with the INQUIRE key
instead of the PROGRAM key. The Express II will prompt
you with the same menu choices as if you were programming
until you have reached the desired information. Express II
will “speak” the programming parameters and display them
at the same time. You can also:
Inquire Status:
General status information can also be requested from
the keypad. If you press INQUIRE and then STATUS, the
Express II will first give you information from internal
functions on power, battery and sound levels, then ask what
else you want status information from. You will be given four
choices:
1-Input Status
2-Output Status
3-Mic Listen In (valid only remotely)
4-Dump Programming
1–2 - Input/Output Status: If you choose Input or Output
Status the Express II will ask you for an input or output
number or have you press “
9” “9” to hear the status of all
inputs or outputs.
3 - Mic Listen In: Allows you to listen in to sounds on site
through the Express II’s microphone.
4 - Dump Programming: Dumps all the program settings
to a printer for recording. Remember that you must have
a printer with a serial port connected to the Express II in
order to use this feature. It is useful if you wish to clear and
reprogram the unit or to have a printed record of settings.
