TR-CL180 Lens Controller - User Manual
If there is an error, a typical reply might be:
We recommend the host waits for the
>
prompt before sending the next
command; UDP communications are not guaranteed to arrive, so the host
software must be able to deal with lost messages.
When an error occurs, the host may request a reply message to be sent to
it by using the
GT
command.
Multiple commands can be entered on one line by separating them with a
semi-colon (
;
). The TR-CL180 replies to the commands individually,
separating them with
<LF><CR>
and adding the
>
prompt after the final
command reply.
All commands comprise a code of two letters followed by any parameter
necessary. All spaces in the command are ignored.
Numeric parameters are separated by a comma (
,
). Time periods are
specified in milliseconds by default, but you can add ‘s’, ‘ms’, or ‘us’ to the
parameter to specify seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds. Current is
specified in amps by default, but you can add ‘A’ or ‘mA’ to the parameter
to specify amps or milliamps.
Note:
All parameters are specified in the ‘USA/UK’ format, where a half is
written as ‘0.5’ and not ‘0,5
