Terminal Mode Operation
Terminal mode allows more control over messages than the basic
Slave Mode setting. In terminal mode, you can control:
• Cursor position
• Line scrolling
• Character-by-character display options
However, this mode also requires that you control the positioning and
formatting of each message. In Terminal Mode, only one DL40 Plus
Slave may be connected to the RS-485 or RS-232 link.
Terminal Mode is selected by DIP switch settings as described in
Chapter 2.
