6. Monitor Utility
The ACS-8910 control panel allows for exploration of all configurable features. However, the small
form factor of the control panel only allows a small LCD display output. A limited amount of
information can be displayed at a given time on the LCD display.
The monitor utility displays all information on a larger terminal screen via a serial interface. The
monitor utility is identical to the LCD display in that it displays the basic self-diagnostic, operation,
and configuration information. However, it allows the Configuration Menu to be displayed by using
a graphical user interface. Additionally, it displays more verbose error, warning, and status messages,
impractical to display on the LCD on the front control panel.
NOTE: The Monitor Utility via the RS-232 interface and the front control panel cannot be
used at the same time. When one is active, access to the other is disabled.
6.1 Key Definitions under ANSI Terminal
The ACS-8910 supports VT100 terminal and standard ANSI Terminal emulation. The following
shows the definitions of the function:
A or ↑- scroll upward through the menu items
Z or ↓- scroll downward through the menu items
Enter - select an item from menu; launch a sub-menu or select a value
ESC - exit the sub-menu and return to the previous menu
TAB – Switch the MENU or OUTPUT screen.
The rest of the alpha-numeric keys are also supported for password and when prompted for input.
