To Re-Enable a receiver:
To re-enable a site, place the mouse cursor over the previously disabled receiver
and click the right mouse button.

Quick Start Tech Note: Test the FORCE VOTE and DISABLE functions for
each receiver on the screen and verify the operation at the comparator. Some
configurations of Comparator I/O Modules do not have the FORCE VOTE
(MON) output and the VOTE input jumpered together on the board. These
modules will not give a vote indication back to the PC until the lines are
connected together at the comparator. The same holds true for the Disable circuits
on some boards.

7.5.2 Controlling Receivers With The Keyboard

MCNRCD lets you execute all program functions from the keyboard as well as
from the mouse. To allow keyboard operation, a keyboard cursor is used. Control
of the cursor is provided by the cursor arrow keys. Keyboard commands are then
used to control the receiver selected by the cursor.

The MCNRCD program checks for the presence of a mouse at startup. If one is
detected, the Keyboard Cursor is turned off. If no mouse is detected, the
Keyboard Cursor will be turned on. You can also manually turn the keyboard
cursor on and off.

To Turn the Keyboard Cursor On or Off:
