The interrogator is powered by a standard 9V battery and has a management system which
reduces power consumption by placing the unit in an idle mode when it is waiting for user input
or for a communication operation to complete.
The interrogator also features a 2k byte non-volatile RAM (NV-RAM) split into two sections.
These sections are used to store the current operating mode and a backup copy.
Liquid Crystal Display Screen
This screen consists of a two-line, 16-character dot-matrix liquid crystal display (LCD). The
screen displays messages which communicate information from/to the user.
It displays a menu system that enables the user to select the command mode for the system,
