Using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) for Diagnostics

The Configuration and Debug

menu for this module is arranged as a tree

structure, with the Main menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus
for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the
module is the

Main menu.

Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the
[command letter] from your computer keyboard in the Diagnostic window in
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). The module does not respond to mouse
movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the

[

COMMAND LETTER

]

— you do not need to press [E

NTER

].

When you type a

[

COMMAND LETTER

], a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.
