If the currently selected device is a plug-in module, the bottom line will display "DELETE

W I T H  DELP". The following diagram shows the plug-in configuration menu of a GP700M

Adding a Plug-In

Adding a plug-in alters the configuration of both the plug-in and the GP700M instrument.

For this reason, a plug-in that has been added to one instrument cannot be added to a sec-

ond instrument until it has been deleted from the first instrument using the DELP com-
mand, or cleared using the CLRP command. See below for information about these
commands.

To add a new plug-in, open the plug-in configuration menu by pressing the PCFG softkey.
Then press ADDP to begin the add plug-in procedure. The GP700M will display an instruc-
tion dialog screen that gives you the option to continue or to exit.

Figure 5: Add Plug-In Instruction Dialog

Slide just one plug-

in module into rear

expansion slot.

ENTER to add.
ESC to stop.

HELP twice to exit.

If you do not wish to add a plug-in, press ESC once or HELP twice. Both operations will
perform a system reset and return you to the main menu.

To install a plug-in, locate a vacant slot in the rear of the instrument. Remove the blank
cover panel by loosening the top and bottom captured thumb screws. Stop loosening when
the screws spring out. Hold the plug-in so that the printed text and logo are upright legible,
taking care not to touch the recessed electrical connector on the opposite side.

Slide the plug-in cartridge into a vacant slot in the rear of the instrument. Each plug-in has

top and bottom flanges that slide into rails installed in the housing. The plug-in should slide
easily. Do not force the plug-in, as this could cause damage to the plug-in, the instrument,
or both.

When you have inserted the plug-in almost completely, you will feel some resistance as the
plug-in comes into contact with the backplane. Press firmly to establish a proper connec-
tion. The plug-in's external panel should now be flush with the fixed rear electrical panel.
Tighten the thumb screws to secure the plug-in.
