2.1.2

EDP Command Configuration

The EDP command set can be used to configure the 880 indicator using either a

personal computer or terminal. Like Revolution, EDP command configuration sends

commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike Revolution, EDP commands can be sent

using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial

connection.
EDP commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and

provide some functions not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to

simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the indicator, or to dump lists of

parameter settings. See the Technical Service manual for more information about

using the EDP command set.

2.1.3

Front Panel Configuration

The 880 indicator can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the

indicator front panel when the indicator is in setup mode. Table 2-1 summarizes the

functions of each of the main menus.
