3.0 Configuration
To conÞgure the IQ plus 710 indicator, the indicator
must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is
accessed by removing the large Þllister head screw on
the enclosure backplate. Switch position is changed
by inserting a screwdriver into the access hole and
pressing the switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word
is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu
CONFIG
is the Þrst of ten main menus used to conÞgure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When conÞguration is complete,
return to the CONFIG menu and press the
key to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch
access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The IQ plus 710 indicator can be conÞgured by using
the front panel keys to navigate through a series of
conÞguration menus or by sending commands or
conÞguration data to the EDP port. ConÞguration
using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3.

accomplished using either the EDP command set
described in Section 5.0 or Version 2.4 or later of the
ª
Revolution conÞguration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution Configuration
The Revolution conÞguration utility provides the
preferred method for conÞguring the IQ plus 710
indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to
set conÞguration parameters for the indicator. When
Revolution conÞguration is complete, conÞguration
data is downloaded to the indicator.
Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution ConÞguration Display
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading
of indicator conÞguration data. This capability allows
conÞguration data to be retrieved from one indicator,
edited, then downloaded to another.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible
personal computer running Windows
Wi n d o w s 9 5 / 9 8 . M i n i m u m s y s t e m
requirements are 8MB of extended memory
and at least 5MB of available hard disk space.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
( )
ZERO
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins
on the indicator EDP port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the
setup switch to place the indicator in setup
mode.
4. Start the Revolution program.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution
conÞguration displays.
Revolution provides online help for each of its
conÞguration displays. Parameter descriptions provided
in this manual for front panel conÞguration can also be
used when conÞguring the indicator using Revolution:
the interface is different, but the parameters set are the
same.
3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration
The EDP command set can be used to conÞgure the
IQ plus 710 indicator using either a personal
computer, terminal, or remote keyboard. Like
Revolution, EDP command conÞguration sends
commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike
Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any
external device capable of sending ASCII characters
over a serial connection.
EDP commands duplicate the functions available
using the indicator front panel and provide some
functions not otherwise available. EDP commands can
be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to
conÞgure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter
settings. See Section 5.0 on page 40 for more
information about using the EDP command set.
