In Master mode, the Model 250 sends out the entire contents of the LCD every 100msec. This is
essentially the same as AUTO output but the format of the output string is designed to allow a
remote display to exactly copy the contents of the LCD including all of the annunciators and user
prompts, etc. Refer to page 34 for setup details.
