CHAPTER 7: OTHER KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

INQUIRING:

The same menu system that is used for programming the Express
II is also used to verify programming. To check the programming
of a particular parameter, just follow the same steps as if program-
ming, except start with the INQUIRE key instead of the PRO-
GRAM key. The Express II will prompt you with the same menu
choices as if you were programming until you have reached the
desired information. Express II will 'speak' the programming
parameters and display them at the same time. You can also:

Inquire Status:

General status information can also be requested from the key-
pad. If you press INQUIRE and then STATUS, the Express II will
first give you information from internal functions on power, battery
and sound levels, then ask what else you want status information
from. You will be given four choices:
1-Input Status
2-Output Status
3-Mic Listen In (valid only remotely)
4-Dump Programming
1-2 - Input/Output Status: If you choose Input or Output Status
the Express II will ask you for an input or output number or have
you press "99" to hear the status of all inputs or outputs.
3 - Mic Listen In: Allows you to listen in to sounds on site
through the Express II's microphone.
4 - Dump Programming: Dumps all the program settings to a
printer for recording. Remember that you must have a printer with
a serial port connected to the Express II in order to use this
feature. It is useful if you wish to clear and reprogram the unit or
to have a printed record of settings.
