Chapter 4
Running DL5 Off-line Programmer
4–4
Use the Terminal Mode Selection option from the Main Menu to make the
computer function as a “dumb” ASCII terminal. This means that you will
use your keyboard to respond to the prompts on the DL5. Refer to your DL5
User’s Manual (Publication 2706-805) for information about on-line
programming from a “dumb” terminal.
While in Terminal Mode, your computer screen will not display the
characters you type. Instead, all characters typed on the keyboard will echo
(display) on the DL5. Your computer screen will continue to display the
Terminal Mode screen until you press [END] to return to the Main Menu.
When Terminal Mode is selected, the screen displays the baud rate of the
serial port (COM1). Use the Baud Rate Selection option to change the
baud rate.
Press [END] to return to the Main Menu.

ATTENTION: If you delete all messages in the DL5 using the
Terminal Mode, you must wait until the DL5 is done with this
step before proceeding. The DL5 will display ”Memory Lost”
while it is still erasing its memory. After this step is complete,
the DL5 will show the RUN? prompt. Then you can continue.
