RS-485 connection
When you use the RS-485 interface, check whether the ends of the two RS-485 lines are connected
correctly.
Windows 95
Under Windows 95, the serial interfaces are permanently assigned to an application. This means
that the MX_SHELL and MX_SCOPE programs cannot be run in parallel (in two DOS boxes). Use
the direct program call via [File] / [MX_SCOPE], [File] / [MX_POS], [File] / [MX_SHELL] which is
integrated in the programs to switch between theses applications quickly.
Status line
The last but one line of the screen is the status line. It provides important information about the
status of MX_SHELL and the connected inverter. The status line has the following structure:
Online mode
MX_SHELL
operating mode
Offline mode
