Caution: Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for advanced
debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to stop communicating with the
processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss or other failures. Only use these
commands if you are specifically directed to do so by ProSoft Technology Technical Support staff.
Some of these command keys are not listed on the menu, but are active nevertheless. Please be
careful when pressing keys so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted command.

Redisplaying the Menu
Press [?] to display the current menu. Use this command when you are looking

the processor and the module.
Tip: To determine the number of blocks transferred each second, mark the numbers displayed at a
specific time. Then some seconds later activate the command again. Subtract the previous
numbers from the current numbers and divide by the quantity of seconds passed between the two
readings.
