Select the ABB icon to access and select the status function. If no communi-
cations data file (sio.dat) exists a message noting that sio.dat not found is dis-
played. Make sure your serial port is set properly (Section 4.5).

rent, main, default or memory module data base of a specified instrument.
When reading or writing a specific block, use the block and occurrence number
listed in the .CRF file for your database (see Appendix A), NOT the block Tag

tional commands. Table 5-2 lists the commands supported by this display.
