In the timer, counter, keep relay, and data table screens, it is possible to
enter data continuously. The cursor will rest at the last data entered.
D Entry method
(a) Use “;” (EOB) as a data delimiter.
(Example) “100; 200; 300;”+“INPUT” key
(b)Use “;=” to enter the same data as the preceding one.
(Example) “100;=;=;200;=”+“INPUT” key results in:
100,100,100,200,200
(c) Use “;;” to skip an address.
(Example) “100;;100”+“INPUT” key keeps the second item
from being entered.
The timer screen is used to set and view the time value in a functional
instruction timer (SUB3).
