7.4 MENU MODE
Menu Mode commands allow virtually the same
functionality as programming commands. Unlike
the programming commands, menu commands
prompt the user to select from a list of available
options. The system then responds based upon
selections made by the user.
The menu driven commands are only available with
MultiTasker systems that have the following front
panel firmware:
690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later.
690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later.
690-0124-018 = Version 018 or later.
Send the command [VER] and the system will
respond with feedback that includes the following:
690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018
Check the last three digits against the numbers
above to determine if Menu Mode is available.
