After you have finished with the Messages, Options, and Ports menus, you
can use the Verify menu to display individual messages on the DL40 to be
sure their format is correct. You can even insert binary, BCD, and ASCII
variables into the message you are testing.
Important: The file for the message you want to test must exactly match the
Internal Application Memory of the DL40 Message Display. To
assure that is the case, you must download the file to the DL40
before testing any message in that file.
Depending on whether you select RS-485 or RS-232 communications, you
will follow one of two different paths through the Verify menu. The basic
steps for each communications protocol appear below.
