OVRRIDES—Allow Changes to Status Switches

The Status Switches may be changed by the application with the use of the Change Status (CS) command. Overriding individual Status Switches may be inhibited by the settings of the override controls. Overrides are specified as a string of Y’s and N’s; for example: YYYNYNNN. A value in any of the eight positions represents a change for that override. A * or blank in any of the eight positions represents no change for that override.

The defaults for these values will depend upon the interface, as listed in Table 85.
