I/O Diagnostics:
Press this key to display the I/O Diagnostics sub-
menu, which allows the user to manipulate digital
outputs for troubleshooting. The I/O Diagnostics
screen is used to display the digital outputs at a
basic level for troubleshooting. Both the bucket
and jacket temperatures are also displayed on this
screen. Any output can be selected using the left
and right arrow keys. The selected output is turned
ON (1) or OFF (0) using the 1 and 0 keys. Prior
to entering the Diagnostics Menu, the controller
stores the present state of the outputs. This state is
restored when you exit this screen. Digital outputs
cannot be manipulated while a test is in progress.
