BM
SCAN BANK LINK ON/OFF (specifically).
BM[
ï
] checks the current status of linked scan banks.
If bank letters are specified then scan bank link is On (the specified banks will be
scanned as a group), if no letters are specified then the facility is Off.
First check the current status by typing BM[
ï
]
A typical response may be: BM -BC—GHIJa—e—h-j
To switch bank link Off type in the reported scan bank letters:
BM BCGHIJaehj (lower case input being accepted for the second group of
memory banks)
To activate a new scan bank link type in the required list of scan bank letters.
For example to link a few specified scan banks and turn the facility On:
Type BM followed by the bank letters and terminated with [
ï
]
BM ABDabcij [
ï
]
The BM command may be used to switch some banks On and others Off at the
same time. To make things easier a “-” character reverses the current status of
the specified bank, of course this may also be used to switch scan bank link Off.
Note: The SCAN BANK LINK facility can also be simply switched On/Off
using the ML command.
BS is the equivalent command for SEARCH bank link.
