When a node number between 1 and 15 is displayed, it is shown in hexadecimal format
(1 - F). For node numbers greater than 15, three horizontal bars are displayed. User defined
symbols can be made to appear using the keywords
LED
and
LEDDISPLAY
. See the Mint
help file for details of each keyword.
If the status display shows one of the digits 0 - 7 with a flashing decimal point during startup,
this indicates that the NextMove ESB-2 has detected a fault and cannot be started. In this
unlikely event, please contact Baldor technical support.
