RS-232 PROGRAMMING
RS-232 PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
The VP250SE can communicate with other con-
trollers that provide an RS-232 interface.
Adjustable baud rates are 19,200, 9,600, 4,800,
2,400 and 1,200 with 9,600 as factory default.
(Contact factory for details if baud rate needs to be
changed.) Communication settings are 8 bits, N
parity and 1 stop bit. A terminal emulator program,
like the one found in Windows, can be used to con-
trol the VP250SE.
All RS-232 commands require the header of
‘VP250’ to be used at the beginning of each new
command string, followed by any of the commands
listed below. Commands may be of either upper or
lower case characters. All commands are
terminated by a carriage return (13H).
