Switch Test
-----------
Displays open or closed position for each DIP switch or Game switch.
You do not have to power the game off and back on to see the switch test.
Set switch #9 (Bank F3, switch #1) to ON and press the RESET button (switch
#1 located at F1 on the ZPU-1000 board).
The monitor will display the off ("O" on the monitor) and on ("#" on the
monitor) status of the 40 ZPU DIP switches on the upper chart and the
open/closed status of all game switches (buttons/joystick/coin mech) on
the lower VFB switches chart.
You can test DIP switches and control switches by switching them off and
observing whether they show up as off in the monitor chart.
To return the game to normal operation, turn switch #9 OFF and press the
RESET (SW #1) button on the ZPU board.
Here is a diagram of the charts you will observe on the screen:
