The AutoPulse Z-10 is site-programmable, using either a text-based or front-panel programming 
method.  In both cases, all programming selections are stored in non-volatile memory and saved 
between power on/off cycles. 
 
This section provides an overview of each programming method and identifies any prerequisite 
steps (connecting serial cable, etc.) you must complete prior to programming the panel.

The text-based panel programmer runs in a terminal emulator window on your PC and uses a 
series of 11 text prompts, each of which corresponds to a major programming task, to guide you 
through the programming process. Each prompt appears similar to the example shown below.  The 
default setting for the prompt is always designated by a d, and an asterisk (*) always indicates the 
currently programmed setting.  Use X to exit the programmer at any time; use C to review the 
current programming configuration. When you turn the programming switch to the OFF position, 
all changes you have made are saved. 
 
To accept the currently programmed setting, simply press the Carriage Return (CR) key.  To 
change a setting, enter the number corresponding to your choice and then press the CR key.  When 
you press CR, the next prompt appears.
