Altinex MT109-102 manual Menu Command Definitions, Using Menu Mode

MULTI-TASKER™

7.4 MENU MODE

MENU MODE commands are RS-232 commands that allow virtually the same functionality as programming commands. Unlike the programming commands in the previous sections, 7.2 and 7.3, MENU commands prompt the user to select from a list of available options. The system then responds based upon selections made by the user.

MENU commands may be issued in response to prompts from within MTSetup™ or other RS-232 communication software.

The MENU driven commands are only available with Multi-Tasker™ Front Panel systems that have the following firmware:

690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later.

690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later.

690-0124-018 = Version 018 or later.

NOTE: In MTSetup™, send the command [VER] from the Terminal Window. The system will respond with feedback that is similar to the following:

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

Check the last three digits against the numbers above to determine if the MENU MODE option is available.

7.4.2 USING MENU MODE

SUGGESTION: Before using menu mode, it is best to disable the automatic feedback feature. The values and current settings will be displayed in the menu mode, but the automatic feature will display after each setting change making the menus difficult to read.

1.In order to enter MENU mode, the system needs to be connected to a computer running MTSetup™ or other RS-232 control software.

2.Insert the card into an empty slot and push in all the way for a secure fit.

3.Reset the system or power the system OFF and then ON.

4.In MTSetup™, click the cursor in the Terminal Window and press the ENTER key.

5.The system will interrogate the enclosure and return a list of cards installed and their slot locations.
