Service functions 50 through 99 are enabled when you select Manual mode and
enter function 25 (service switch 1), then function 26 (service switch 2).
Subfunctions are used with Functions 51 and 54 through 64.
You can disable the service functions by selecting and entering either function 25
(service switch 1) or function 26 (service switch 2).
Using Subfunctions: After you select and enter the function (51, or 54 through 64),
the subfunction field appears with two asterisks (**). You can now select and enter
a subfunction value. When you have selected and entered a value, actual data, YY
FF (where YY is the function number), is displayed. The ’YY FF’ response indicates
that no data is present for this subfunction value. The data displays as 8
hexadecimal digits (4 bytes of data).
You can repeat these steps for different subfunction values. To exit subfunctions,
select and enter the two asterisks for the subfunction value. Table 25 shows an
example of a subfunction data display.
