7.4.2 USING MENU MODE
SUGGESTION: Before using the menu mode, it
is best to disable the automatic feedback
feature. The values and current settings will be
displayed in the menu mode, but the automatic
feature will display after each setting change
making the menus difficult to read.

needs to be connected to a computer
running RS-232 control software.

in all the way for a secure fit.

except those relating to the desired menu.
Pressing ENTER after "08" will force the
system back to the original prompt.
