for slow rate recording, as well as XX% used, where XX is the amount of disk space already recorded.

3.1.1.2 Status Line
The middle section of the Status Bar is the Status Line which displays the Point information, Alarm
information, rear terminal Junction Temperature or Unit Tag. The user can change the Status Line to
display the Points, Alarms or Junction Temperature using the DISPL (Display) Menu (see Section 4.2.1).
By default, when the unit is powered up, the Status Line will show the Unit Tag (identification) information.
The powerup default can be changed to Unit Tag, Auto Jog, Point, Alarms or Junction Temp using the
Powerup disp option under the PROG (Program) Menu (see Section 5.4.3).
The following examples show how information is displayed in the Status Line:

Alarm information: Point No.

3.1.1.3 Alarm Acknowledgment
The ACK button will appear on top of the Disk Status section on the left side of the Status Bar when there
is an alarm condition. The ACK button is only present when there is an alarm condition, at which time it
blinks until the user presses it to acknowledge the alarm condition. Pressing the ACK button will also reset
any output relays if this option is installed and programmed. The ACK button will always be the top most
button, always rising to the surface when covered by other items such as menus. This allows the user to
acknowledge an alarm at any time, even while in the programming mode.
