Viewing and Editing the Buffer
The P2CIM-SER or P2CIM-SER-EU stores the most recent eight pages of data from an ASCII
device in a circular buffer. This enables you to access and operate the device, and also review the
historical data stream on demand. The buffer is a circular eight-page buffer, which means it
retains the most recent eight pages of the data from the device.
To view and edit the data in the buffer:
1. Press Alt+F4. The P2CIM-SER or P2CIM-SER-EU switches from On-Line Mode to Buffer
Edit Mode and displays the Buffer Edit screen.

and position the cursor in the Buffer Edit screen.
