Remote Mode
You can control your medTester 5000C through a serial port by sending
remote commands. Typically the operator is using a personal computer (or
any terminal that allows transmission of ASCII characters) with a terminal
emulation program, communications software program, or database program
to issue commands to the medTester. When you enter the remote mode, all
medTester keyboard input is disabled. Incoming remote commands to the
medTester appear on the display, along with response messages.
Going Remote
In order to remotely operate the medTester 5000C, ensure that you connect
the correct serial cable from a serial port on the medTester to the correct
serial communications port on your personal computer or terminal.
Port Selection
To establish remote control of a single serial port at a time, type remote , or
send remote as a command to a serial port. (Remote commands are not case
sensitive). Port selection is established in this manner:
•
If remote is received from a serial port, then that port is the
remote port, otherwise…
•
COM1 is selected the first time the medTester 5000C is operated
remotely from a personal computer or terminal device.
•
If the medTester 5000C has been operated remotely before, the
last port receiving a remote command is selected for remote
control.
