Med Twice a second (0.5 sec. on/off)
High Ten times a second (0.1 sec. on/off)

Terminal Setup submenu.
Or press the Ack key to return to the Terminal Setup
submenu without saving anything.

The status of the terminal is checked every time it is powered up or
restarted, using the Power On Self Test (POST). Individual parts of
the system may also be checked using the Self Tests on the Front
Panel Editor menu.
Note: If you suspect that more than one test may be needed, don’t
select several tests from the menu. It is more efficient to cycle power,
or to select the Watchdog Reset test, and have the terminal perform
all its Power On Self Tests (POST).
To perform a Self Test:
1. Select Self Tests from the Front Panel Editor menu. Press the
Enter key to display the Self Tests menu.
