Managing settings with M menus

You can use the M menus to view and modify current settings.

The M menu works from the current parameter values, not from the saved values stored in the rvp10.conf location. If the host computer has modified some current values, you see these changes as you browse the setup list.

Vaisala recommends making incremental changes to saved settings.

  1. Type R to restore the saved values from rvp10.conf.
  2. Type M to make the changes starting from that point.

    The current value of each parameter is displayed on the screen. The TTY pauses for input at the end of the line:

    • Press ENTER to move to the next parameter and leave the present parameter unchanged.
    • Type U to move back up in the list.
    • Type Q to exit the list at any time.

    • Type a number or a YES/NO response to change the parameter's value. The system displays the line again with the new value.

      An error message is displayed if entries are invalid.

  3. Type S to save the new values.

You must exit the menus using the Q before resuming normal RVP operation.

Portions of the RVP command interpreter continue to run while the menus are active, but the processor does not function until you exit the menus.
