Where to go Next
Your B-Size system should now be installed and operational. Next, you should wire the terminal blocks and
begin programming. Refer to the individual module manuals for wiring schematics and specific terminal
block wiring information.
The next chapter (Chapter 2) shows how to program instruments using a variety of languages. Shipped with
the command module are two “Verification and Example Programs” disks. These disks (one DOS and one
LIF disk) contain example programs in various languages. Refer to the “README” files on the disks for
information on the various programs on the disks.
