4–39 Creating Message Files
Publication 2706-6.2
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.
