            DIP SWITCH TEST

The DIP Switch Test allows the operator to check the position of the two 8-position
DIP switches on the CPU Board.  The operator can also change the setting of each
position of each DIP Switch during this mode.

To enter the test, use any joystick to select the DIP Switch Test and any control
panel button to activate it.  The screen display a layout of their current settings.

To change a DIP Switch setting, move the switch to the desired setting, then check
the screen to verify that the switch now shows the new setting.

Press any control panel button to return to the Diagnostic Menu.
