selecting ‘System’ and then ‘Control Mode’ followed by ‘Terminal.’ The default settings for the
terminal are as follows:

1 stop bit
These settings can be changed at the front panel by using the System>Terminal> Menu.
The Terminal Control Mode is Menu-driven and the allowable values for each item number will be
shown. To change an item, type in its number followed by <ENTER>. If the parameter to be
changed requires a numeric value, enter the number followed by <ENTER> If the parameter is non-
numeric, press <SPACE> to cycle through the list of available entries. Note that the items that do
not have ID numbers are Status only and cannot be changed. Unless otherwise indicated, all
terminal Menu items shown below are identical to those described in Section 4.1.6 (LCD Display
