cmd cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 alphabetic (non
numeric) characters.
arg arg1, arg2, … argn are required or optional parameters depending on the
command used.
<CR> carriage return (ASCII 13) terminates the command
A space (ASCII 32) must be inserted between the command and any arguments that
follow. A space must also be inserted between all argument parameters except for
the last argument in the chain.
All commands in RS232 mode must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII 13).
The carriage return will tell the command processor to begin execution of the
command.
Query commands will return the following:
=result
#
The '=' indicates a result from a command is following. The 'result' will follow
directly after the '='. The value of the result will vary depending on the query
command used. A new line will be generated and the prompt will indicate the
system is ready for a new command.
6.4 RS-485 MODE
To switch to RS-485 see page 22 in the front panel operation section. Single
commands will be combined with a command delimiter start, device number,
command separator and command delimiter end to form a command string as shown
below:
Single Command Format:
cdsidcmd arg1 arg2 ..argncde
Multiple Command Format:
cdsidcmd arg1 arg2 ..argn,idcmd arg1 arg2 ..argn,…,idcmd arg1 arg2 ..argncde
cds cds is the command delimiter start character '*' (ASCII 42).
id id is the device number in the range of 1 to 32. This can be a single character
for values less than 10, no preceding zero is required.
cmd cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 characters in
length
arg arg1,2,n is any required or optional parameters need for the command
, separates multiple commands
cde cde is the command delimiter end character '!' (ASCII 33).
Example:
*12XYZ A 9,9PDQY 1234, 31WX 200 98!
The command string is started by the command delimiter start character '*'. The first
command follows directly after the cds. The example shows that device 12 should
process the XYZ command with A and 9 as parameters. A coma (ASCII 44) separates
the commands. Device 9 will process the PDQY command with a parameter of 1234
