settings described in Chapter 2.

Data Received Display
Every byte received on either the RS-232 or RS-485 port is displayed
in a hexadecimal format on line 2 of the display. The bytes shift from
right to left as each new byte is received. The byte on the right is
always the last byte received. For example:
The value of every byte is displayed including control characters.
Characters are displayed as fast as they are received (no buffer). This
usually means that only the last 7 bytes of a long message are
viewable.
