e. After this step, the user may operate ES601-US via the touch screen in the conventional
manner, responding to prompts displayed by ES601-US as described in Chapter 5. As each
measurement of the sequence is completed, ES601-US transmits the measurement data to
the PC as either one or two lines of CSV text, each line being terminated by carriage return
\r
. Refer to Section 7.4.4 following for description of the measurement data format.
f. Upon conclusion of the sequence, ES601-US sends:
END\r\f
to the PC. PC software may detect this message, or simply the form feed
\f
, to identify end-
of-protocol.
g. Optionally, the user may choose to abort the sequence in progress by pressing the
ESCAPE key which appears on the ES601-US touch screen. In this event, the protocol is
terminated and ES601-US sends:
ESC\r\f
to the PC.
7.4.3 Test Report Download
Upon conclusion of the test protocol described in the preceding section, user software may optionally send
a "report download" command:
SREP\r
In response to this command, ES601-US will internally generate and then transmit a complete Test Report
document as ASCII text to the PC. The format of this report is highly dependent on the safety standard, but
will be the same as the document that could otherwise be obtained by printing a Test Record saved earlier
for a similar type of safety test.
The last character sent in the report download is form feed
\f
(0x0C). Optionally, user software may detect
this form feed as an end-of-transmission marker. Alternatively, user software can employ a timeout
mechanism to determine the point at which ES601-US stops sending characters.
