Information Mode
Information Mode is a utility that is embedded in the operating system of the
controller. Via Information Mode, you can view data on the LCD screen, use
the controller’s keyboard to directly edit data, and perform certain actions such
as resetting the controller. You can enter Information Mode at any time
without regard to what is currently displayed on the LCD screen.
Viewing data does not affect
the controller’s program.
Performing actions, such as
initializing the controller, can
influence the program.
Note that when you use
Information Mode, the
keyboard is dedicated to that
purpose. The keys return to
normal application functions
when you exit Information
Mode.

-Non-touchscreen models: press the <i> key on the Vision’s keyboard.

line Test mode and changing the value. This value will be erased at
