MES Command

After opening the line for operator commands (see section
Entering/Exiting the Command Mode on page 61), a data message can
be displayed using the MES command. There are eight messages
available for different uses and they numbered from 0 to 7. Refer to
section Message Types on page 63 for message type descriptions.

The command format is the following:

MES

Message_number

↵

↵↵

↵

with a valid range from 0 to 7. For example, when choosing the data
message number 2, type

MES 2

↵

AMES Command

The AMES command defines the message, which the FD12P
transmits as the automatic message or as the default polled message.
Messages can also be displayed by the MES

command, described in

MES Command on page 71.
