3.0 Configuration
To configure the 520 indicator, the indicator must be
placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by
removing the large fillister 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 first of ten top-level menus used for configuring
the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete,
return to the CONFIG menu and press the
key to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch
access screw.

3.1.1 Revolution Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides the
preferred method for configuring the 520 indicator.
Revolution runs on a personal computer to set
configuration parameters for the indicator (see

3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration
The EDP command set can be used to configure the
520 indicator using either a personal computer or

configuration 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
configure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter
settings. See Section 10.0 on page 46 for more
information about using the EDP command set.
