The message may be entered by entering the message number followed by the ' # ' key or by using the arrow keys to scroll
through the list of messages.

Pro-Link also has the capability to monitor the serial port for incoming text messages. When a text message is received, Pro-Link
searches through all 128 text messages for a matching message. If one is found, the When Message Received event button
corresponding to the matching message is activated.

Pro-Link determines that a message has been received when:

One or more characters have been received followed by 100 ms of silence

One or more characters followed by a carriage return character are received

One or more characters followed by a line feed character are received

It is not necessary to enter the terminating carriage return or line feed character as part of the message name.
