Should incorrectly formatted information be added, an error dialogue box will be displayed 
indicating the likely cause of the errors. 

Adding a frame serial number 

There is a facility to add a serial number to each frame to aid identification or for auditing 
purposes. The frame will have had a serial number entered during manufacture; this will be the 
front panel serial number. This serial number can be freely overwritten with any series of 
numbers within the specified range. The electronic serial number consists of three groups of 
numbers. These groups must only contain digits with no gaps and must fall into the range of 0-
127. An example would be 0 0 0 or 127 127 127. 

From the Status window select Serial. The following box will open.
