   • Write 8021 to register 8018
   • Write 8022 to register 8019
2. Write 9020 to register 8000 to open an editing session.
3. Verify commands:
   • Verify register 8017 reads 9020
   • Verify register 8018 reads 0
4. Write 7010 to register 8000 to format the DOC
5. Verify commands:
   • Verify register 8017 reads 7010
   • Verify register 8018 reads 0
6. Write 1 to register 8001 to save changes.
7. Write 9021 to register 8000 to close the editing session.This will cause a meter reset and the DOC will be formatted after the meter is reset
