Forward/Backword Button Interface
The EP-P80P+ also provides two button inputs for use to move RP
(Read Pointer) forward (S1 Switch) or backward (S2 Switch) via
external push buttons. The RP (Read Pointer) is incremented or
decremented and the trace buffer contents pointed by the updated
RP (Read Pointer) will be selected for LED display. In this operation,
LED display updates with the movement of the RP (Read Pointer);
thereby, 32 consecutive POST codes can be accessed one by one.
