7.4 MENU MODE
MENU MODE commands are RS-232 commands
that allow virtually the same functionality as
programming commands. Unlike the programming
commands in the previous sections, 7.2 and 7.3,
MENU commands prompt the user to select from a
list of available options. The system then responds
based upon selections made by the user.
MENU commands may be issued in response to
prompts from within MTSetup™ or other RS-232
communication software.
The MENU driven commands are only available with
Multi-Tasker™ Front Panel systems that have the
following firmware:
690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later.
690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later.
690-0124-015 = Version 018 or later.
NOTE: In MTSetup™, send the command [VER]
from the Terminal Window. The system will respond
with feedback similar to the following:
[690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018]
Check the last three digits against the numbers
above to determine if the MENU MODE option is
available.

7.4.2 USING MENU MODE
SUGGESTION: Before using the menu mode, it
is best to disable the automatic feedback feature.
The values and current settings will be displayed
in the menu mode, but the automatic feature will
display after each setting change making the
menus difficult to read.
1. In order to enter MENU mode, the system
needs to be connected to a computer running
MTSetup™ or other RS-232 control
software.
2. Insert the card into an empty slot and push in
all the way for a secure fit.
3. Reset the system or power the system OFF
and then ON.
4. In MTSetup™, click the cursor in the
Terminal Window and press the ENTER key.
