Monitor Force: used to force variables to a specific value. Once a
variable is forced, it will retain the forced value until it is unforced. See

Monitor Set Up UDC/PMI: used to select variables to drive the D/A
analog outputs on the UDC and PMI Processors and to enter
minimum and maximum values for scaling. See 18.6 for more
information.
The six menus are identified in the upper left hand corner of the
screen with the word Monitor" followed by the kind of monitor, e.g.
Variable". Depending upon the option you choose from the menu,
the field may display even more detail, e.g., Monitor Variable
Modify". The names of subĆmenus available from the Monitor menu
will be shown in boldface in this instruction manual to avoid any
confusion between menu titles and the functions permitted from
those menus.
The steps which describe the operations you can perform in the
various Monitor menus are given in the order in which AutoMax
prompts you for the information needed, such as variable name,
register number, etc. In general, you will be prompted to enter the
information from left to right into fields displayed on the screen in
reverse video with a blinking cursor immediately following.
When you are finished entering the information for a particular field,
type Enter" or <CR> to indicate you are finished and the cursor will
immediately move to the next field. You can use the arrow keys to
move the cursor within the fields. You can also use the cursor to edit
your entry if you have not completed entering all the required
information for the option.
At times, certain fields will show a default. This default is usually the
information you entered the last time you used the particular option.
To select the default, type Enter" or <CR> and go on to the next
field. If you do not wish to select the default, simply type over the
default.
In general, when you are finished entering the information required
for the option, you must type Enter" or <CR> to execute that
option.
