  1. Configure a Panel View System.
  2. Describe the operation of a message display object, numerical input object and a numeric output object.
  3. Describe a multipoint DH-485 network.
  4. Construct, configure and operate a multipoint DH-485 network.
  5. Describe and troubleshoot RS232 serial communication systems.
  6. Use RSWHO to view and go on-line to DH-485 connected systems.
