 Input Data Display
Allows the chart plotter to act as a computer terminal and display the incoming data
exactly as it received.
If the data displayed on the screen is unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong
input parameters for your particular receiver. Check your receiver manual to be sure
that you have selected the proper interface format. If the screen is blank, you may have
a broken connection and no data is being received.
Use 'ZOOM IN' to stop (or continue after pause) data displaying, 'ENTER' to show
data in hex or ASCII mode (normal or small) and 'CLEAR' to exit.
