Exiting the Editor (Ctrl Q)
Entering an
Example Message
To exit the edit mode, type [Ctrl] [Q]. The edit session terminates, and the
message is saved. A notice is displayed and the EDIT? prompt reappears.
Press [Esc] three times to exit from the editor. The message under edit is
saved, but a prompt is not displayed.
Let's go through an example edit session. This should clarify the operation
of the editor. Enter the editor by responding with a Yes to the edit prompt.
You will then see the following prompt:
(or last edited message number)
Enter a number, for example [1][8] [Return].
Let us assume the message number does not exist. The next prompt,
assuming you are using a one line display, is the scroll mode prompt:
The default in this case is line mode. Press [Return] to make message 18 a
line mode message. The next prompt is the print message prompt:
The default this time is not to print the message. Just press [Return]. The
next prompt will appear:
We do not have slaves connected, so just press [Return].
The wait time controls how fast different lines are displayed. This is a line
mode message, so the wait time between lines of the message is five seconds.
This seems OK, so just press [Return].
