INFORMATION
• The "online" communication mode is NOT a response message which informs you
that you are currently connected to the unit or that your unit is ready for communi-
cation. Should you require this feedback, observe section "Setting the cyclical
accessibility test" in the online help (or the manual) of
MOVITOOLS
