Overview
The dCS 904 has many other functions that either need to be accessed only
occasionally, or are informative in nature. These functions can be accessed
either by the Remote software, running on a PC and connected to the unit by an
RS-232 link - or (in most cases) by the Menu. If a function is set by the menu or
the Remote, the unit remembers it, and it will be set this way for ever (or until
you set it to something different). You can customise your unit in this way.
Information only items are displayed for a time, then the display reverts to
normal.

easy to use the functions it accesses.
