CIN(
n
)
Purpose
Read the measurement current if in ‘mA’ mode.
Syntax “CIN
n
”
Arguments
n
:
Device channel number (optional). Uses the active device
channel if not given.
'1' to address DEV1
'2' to address DEV2
Remarks
The MFC-CB interface can measure current output of an MFC/MFM. The
MFC-CB must be in ‘mA’ mode before this can be done (see the “MFCCH”
command). The returned data is always in “mA”.
Example Command:
Reply:
“CIN”
“5.342 mA”
Errors ERR#
10:
ERR# 43:
The prefix "
n"
is invalid
Not in the mA mode

COM
n
(=)
Purpose
Set or read the configuration of the COM1 or COM2 ports.
Syntax “COM
n
=
baud,parity,data,stop
”
“COM
n
”
Arguments
N
:
The COM port: ‘1’ or ‘2’.
Baud:
The baud rate. This may be ‘300’, ‘600’, ‘1200’, ‘2400’,
‘4800’, ‘9600’, ‘19200’, ‘28800’ or ‘38400’.
Parity:
The data parity. This may be ‘O’ for odd, ‘E’ for even or ‘N’
for none.
Data:
The data word length. This may be ‘7’ or ‘8’.
Stop:
The number of stop bits. This may be ‘1’ or ‘2’.
Defaults “COM1=2400,E,7,1”
“COM2=2400,E,7,1”
Remarks
The COM1 port is used to communicate with the MFC-CB. When the
COM1 port configuration of the MFC-CB is changed, the command reply will
be sent at the old COM1 settings, but all subsequent communications will be
accomplished at the new COM1 settings.
The COM2 port is used to allow commands to be passed through the MFC-
CB to a device connected to the COM2 port (refer to the “#” command).
Example Command:
Reply:
“COM1=9600,N,8,1”
“9600,N,8,1”
Error ERR#
7:
ERR# 10:
Missing or improper command argument(s)
The prefix "
n"
is invalid
