Reading the MDS

A data block with a start and end address, which can be defined as desired,
can be read from the MDS. If the same value is entered for the start and end
address, only one block can be read from the MDS. The address area is indi-
cated in another screen for confirmation.
Note
If mode "Complete MDS" was selected in the read/write field of the
menu "Extras/Address Setup/...," the "MDS/read" funktion is started
immediately without asking any questions. The complete MDS is al-
ways processed.

However, you can also specify any start address.
This will be accepted by the STG and corrected to
the next lower block beginning. The corrected ad-
dress is indicated for the operator in a window and
must be acknowledged.
An additional window appears if you change data in
the editor and then attempt to read an MDS. The
window tells you that the data which you have just
modified may be overwritten again with the "read
MDS" command. You can retain or reject the modi-
fied data in the editor, or you can terminate the com-
mand completely.
