5. Computer Remote Control
The programmer can be controlled via a host computer using Computer
Remote Control (CRC) protocol. CRC commands have been designed to
be incorporated into a remote computer software program (driver) which
will allow an operator to control the programmer. The driver generates
commands and sends them to the programmer, which executes the
commands. The programmer then returns a response character and, in
some cases, data. The driver reacts to the response and uses it to generate
messages and prompts for the user.
Note: You do not need to use CRC if you are using PROMlink, TaskLink, or
accessing the programmer’s built-in menu system (using HiTerm or a
similar product to communicate with the programmer). CRC commands
offer you an alternative, allowing you to create your own custom interface
with the programmer.
This chapter is not intended to be a complete guide to using CRC
commands. For a more detailed explanation of CRC commands, refer to
the “UniSystem Computer Remote Control” Application Note available
from Customer Support.
This chapter contains the following information:
•
System Setup
—Explains how to set up the programmer for remote
control operation. Includes information on entering and exiting CRC
mode.
•
CRC Summary
—Gives a listing of the available CRC commands.
Which Driver to
Use?
If you are using CRC commands, you must use a driver program to send
the CRC commands and receive the programmer’s responses. You can
either write your own software driver or use an already created driver
(such as the terminal.exe program included with Windows).
