7.4 MENU MODE
Menu Mode commands allow virtually the same
functionality as programming commands. Unlike
the programming commands, menu commands
prompt the user to select from a list of available
options. The system then responds based upon
selections made by the user.
The menu-driven commands are only available with
MultiTasker systems that have the following front
panel firmware:
690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later.
690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later.
690-0124-018 = Version 018 or later.
Send the command [VER] to the system and the
feedback will include the following:
690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018
Check the last three digits against the numbers
above to determine if Menu Mode is available.

7.4.2 USING MENU MODE
Do NOT press any keys except those relating to
the current menu. If you press the ENTER key
after entering a letter or digit, the original list of
systems will be displayed.
1. In order to enter Menu Mode, the system
needs to be connected to a computer
running RS-232 control software.
2. In the Terminal Window, press the ENTER
key on the keyboard.
3. The system checks all MultiTaskers on the
RS-232 bus and displays a list of available
systems.
Example: 1: U1
2: U2
3: U3
4. Enter the ID number of the desired system.
In the example above, enter a “1” for the
MultiTasker with unit ID 1.
5. The system then interrogates all the cards
available in its enclosure and displays a list
of available cards.
Example: 01: MT103-122
02: MT103-123
04: MT106-103
6. Enter the 2-digit ID and a menu for the card
will be displayed. In the example above,
enter “04” for the MT106-103.
7. The system will prompt for selections
specific to the selected card.
8. Read each menu carefully, and continue
selecting keys as prompted.
NOTE: Menus for data entry have two
prompts: “Key=” and “ESC” (escape). Press the
escape key to return to the previous menu
without making changes.
