The SR5 now incorporates an advanced programming feature named “MechTool

uses the program button, diagnostic pins and the rotary switch. The LED is used to guide the
user through the operations. It is assumed the SR5 is powered-up in parallel mode and all the
relevant internal Eeprom settings are set appropriately to perform the functions listed.
