Chapter 6: Information Mode

Information Mode is a utility that is embedded in the operating system of the controller. Via
Information Mode, you can view data on the LCD screen, use the controller's keyboard to
directly edit data, and perform certain actions such as resetting the controller. You can enter
Information Mode at any time without regard to what is currently displayed on the LCD
screen
Viewing data does not affect the controller's program. Performing actions, such as
initializing the controller, can influence the program.
Note that when you use Information Mode, the keyboard is dedicated to that purpose. The
keys return to normal application functions when you exit Information Mode.
