7.4 MENU MODE

Menu Mode commands allow virtually the same functionality as programming commands. Unlike the programming commands, menu commands prompt the user to select from a list of available options. The system then responds based upon selections made by the user.

The menu driven commands are only available with MultiTasker systems that have the following front panel firmware:

690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later. 690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later. 690-0124-018 = Version 018 or later.

Send the command [VER] and the system will respond with feedback that includes the following:

690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018

Check the last three digits against the numbers above to determine if Menu Mode is available.
