information from the S-Quad to the PC.

phrases, the overall file description ("Identifier"), the
Article Number and the version.
Each phrase can be selected and tested individually
(it may be necessary to temporarily reduce the
volume whilst doing this with "Set" and the up/down
controls (the value is a percentage of the maximum)
but the volume will then need resetting after the test
is over).

("Identifier"), the Article Number and the version. This
can then be programmed into the S-Quad by
selecting the Program button.
When the programming has finished the S-Quad can
then be replaced with another S-Quad that is
