Operation
The data cartridge recorder can be used to record programs at anytime.
However, to provide a backup which contains proper data for startup, it is
advisable to record the program before the process is started (while the
processor is still in the program load mode). This chapter describes the
steps required to operate the recorder with other Allen-Bradley products.
Table 4.A summarizes the baud rate switch settings.
