Chapter 3:

Controller Parameter Descriptions

This section provides speciﬁc details for each data table parameter

including data type, variable range, and default values where applicable.

The Controller Menus section on the next page shows all of the

controller menus for MLS and CLS controllers. (Controller features and

menus vary; not all of the menus shown here apply to each controller.)

This is for reference only, to help you ﬁnd applicable controller

parameters to test your software.

WARNING

The controller’s parameters are all read/write, and the con-

troller does not check the content of data written to it. It is

possible to write to any parameter, even though it may not

be meaningful to do so.

Some of the controller’s functions are not listed as data table parameters

in this chapter. If a parameter is not listed in this chapter, one of the

following situations applies:

• The parameter is set only in the controller’s menus; it is not set in

host software. For example, jobs are loaded through the controller’s

front panel only.

• The function may be a bit set in a byte in host software. For example,

the panel lock feature does not have its own parameter; it is set in the

System Command register.

Correlating Menu Items with Parameters

There is not a one-to-one correspondence between parameters found on

the controller menus and the data table items. Some parameters that

appear separately on the controller’s display are combined when stored

in the data table and when read or written via serial communications.

The following tables lay out the correspondence between menu items

and the data table.
