Setting Up the Pager Encoder
NOTE The pager encoder mode is available only on instruments with Option 1EP.
Option 1EP adds pager encoding/signaling capabilities to the standard
functions. Consequently the front panel of the Option 1EP instrument is
different from the standard instrument’s front panel. The green and blue
labels are incorporated for the pager encoding settings only. Therefore, these
keys have multiple functions on instruments with Option 1EP.
