7.4 MENU MODE
MENU MODE commands are RS-232 commands
that allow the same functionality as the
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 commands. The system then
responds based upon selections made by the user.
MENU commands may be issued in response to
prompts from within MTSetup™ or any 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 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 the 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 cards installed and their
slot locations.
Example: 08: MT106-103
NOTE: Only cards supporting the menu
feature will be displayed.
