Software Operation
3-4.3 Wakeup the ADFM
Wakeup is the process of establishing communication with the ADFM.
Immediately after you apply power to the ADFM, it enters the STANDBY
mode. Sending a BREAK signal from a terminal/program awakens the
ADFM. When the ADFM receives a BREAK signal, it responds with the
wake-up message. The ADFM is now ready to accept commands at the “>”
prompt from either a terminal or computer program. Press
End
to send the
wakeup command (BREAK) to the ADFM.
The ADFM wake-up (copyright) message should appear.

NOTE. If the Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys are activated, this
may interfere with the ability to send a valid Break signal when pushing the
END key.
