Error()

command.  

The message is initiated using the uppercase letter ‘E’, contains a
delimiter between each segment, and is terminated with CR/LF.  The
contents of the message include the message type, date, time, com-
pany name, model number, serial number, sample ID if any, error
code, and error message text.

Basic Tools

•

AILink

The Advanced Instruments utility, AILink may be used to collect and
save the serial port messages via the AITerminal tab.  This will cre-
ate a text file that may be imported into third party software, such as
Microsoft

®

Excel.  Refer to Excel documentation on how to import a

delimited text file.  Once properly imported, you may use the head-
ing information supplied above for each message type to read or sort
the message strings.

•

HyperTerminal

Some versions of Microsoft Windows

® 

contain a utility for serial

port communications that can be used to capture serial port output in
much the same manner as described for AILink.  Consult Microsoft

®

documentation and the instrument user’s guide for information on
setting up a HyperTerminal session.
