Using the Main Menu

There are three selections within the main menu. They are:

1) RUN. While in the run mode, the DL5 accepts message trigger
commands or real time variables (data) from the controller and then
displays the appropriate message or data.

2) EDIT. Answering Yes to Edit allows you to create new messages or
modify old messages.

3) SPECIAL FUNCTIONS. The special functions selection allows you to
access special routines such as debug or memory clear functions. It also
allows set up of the parallel, and serial ports as well as selection of a run
mode.

Answering [Y] to one of these main menu prompts will allow access to
additional prompts pertaining to that selection. If you press the [N] (No)
key and then the [Retrn] key, the prompt for the next main menu selection
will be displayed. Refer to the following flow chart of the main menu:
