2.  Software Menu System

 

 

 

The T19 / T26 option board has a inbuilt software menu system which is used to configure, calibrate and 
test the board. The menu system is entered through a terminal emulator program. The serial 
communications settings are 9600-baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. HyperTerminal, which is 
included with all Windows versions, is suitable for communicating with the T19/T26 option board. 

 

The software menu system can be entered by sending the 

RMENU 

command (not case sensitive) on the 

terminal. The user will then be presented with a menu system from which various settings and 
configurations can be selected. To exit the menu system the <

ESC

> key can be pressed.
