Step 3. The MT1200 will send a short “HELP” message about the command, for
display on your monitor.
View Current Values of Parameters
To see the current value of parameter(s) for any variable (other than the “immediate”
commands, like CONVERS, that are simple actions, not settings):
Step 1. Go to COMMAND mode, as described above (if you are not already there).
Step 2. Type the name of the command for which you want to see current parameter
value(s).
Step 3. The MT1200 will send a message consisting of the name of the command
and the value(s) of its parameters for display on your monitor. For example, if
you type INTFACE, you will see INTFACE TERMINAL.
As explained in the “Command Reference” chapter, the DISPLAY command can be
used to see current values of ALL or a selected sub-sets of commands.
Change the Value of a Parameter
To change the current value of parameter(s) for any variable (other than the
“immediate” commands, like CONVERS, that are simple actions, not settings):
Step 1. Go to COMMAND mode, as described above (if you are not already there).
Step 2. Type the name of the command for which you want to change the current
parameter value(s), type one or more spaces, and enter the new value(s) you
want for the parameter(s) for the command.
Step 3. The MT1200 will immediately change the value(s) to the values(s) you have
just entered.
If you enter a value that is not possible (e.g., INTFACE MOON), you will get an error
message (“EH?”). “EH?” simply means that the command you entered was not
understood.
To confirm that the current value(s) is what you want, enter the name of the command
and press ENTER. The MT1200 will send a message consisting of the name of the
command and the current value(s) of its parameter(s) for display on your monitor.
