The Print Mode lets you print the list of Message Numbers and text in the
DL40’s internal application memory and/or the current settings for all
parameters. This mode can only be entered from the Run Mode by entering
either a
[CTRL] [P] via the DL40 Keyboard Port or by using the [SELECT]
and [
↵
] push buttons on the front panel of the DL40.
If you enter the Print Mode via a keyboard, you can select to print messages
and/or parameters. If you enter the Print Mode via the front panel, you can
only print both messages and parameters.
From the keyboard, enter [Y] (yes) or [N] (no) followed by [
↵
] for each
prompt. From the front panel, enter [SELECT] or [
↵
] for each prompt.
Select corresponds to No; Enter corresponds to Yes. If you enter [N] to
Return to Run Mode, the DL40 goes back to the first prompt. Pressing [ESC]
or [MSG ACK] returns you from the Print Mode prompts to the Run Mode.
Pressing [ESC] or [MSG ACK] while printing returns you to the Print Mode
prompts. If the DL40 is performing a print function, that function will be
aborted.
This mode will only exist on the Parallel Port Version of the DL40. It allows
you to monitor the current state of all of the parallel port inputs.
There are three ways that you can enter this mode. The first way is for the
unit to be powered up with the Debug/Run Mode DIP switch in the Debug
position. The second way is to enter a
[CTRL] [D] via the DL40 Keyboard
Port when the unit is in the Run Mode. The third way is to use the [
↵
] and
[SELECT] push buttons on the front panel of the DL40.
If this mode was entered via the Debug/Run Mode DIP switch on power–up,
the DL40 will remain in this mode until the dip switch is changed to Run
Mode position and unit is reset.
If this mode is entered via the [CTRL] [D] or front panel push buttons while
in the Run Mode, the display will remain in this mode until the user presses
any key on the keyboard or
[
↵
] or [SELECT] push button.
The display will have the following format in this mode:
MS0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
D1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1
MS1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
