In some menus it is possible to switch a signal on and off by
using a force function. This feature can be used, for instance,
for testing a certain function. The force function can be
activated as follows:
1.
Move to the setting state of the desired function, for
example DO (see Chapter 2.4, on page 29).
2.
Select the Force function (the background color of the force
text is black).
