IC6 Operating Manual

7.5 MESSAGE Page Set-up

Ten 19 character messages can be created by the user from the front panel or via
communications. ASCII characters allowed include all the characters starting with
the space character h20 through the character h7E. These messages are turned
on and off under control of logic statements. Up to four messages can be displayed
in the message area. Newer messages will displace older ones. IC6 status
messages have priority and will also displace user messages.

Move the cursor key to one of the 10 message lines. Then use the alphanumeric
keys in cell-phone fashion to enter characters. Use 0 for a space, A second press
on 0 enters numeric 0. To edit a message, move the cursor to the message and
press any numeric key.
