Remote Control
of the CINEBRATE is accomplished using by sending a command from the PC in ASCII (text) to
the instrument. This command is then executed, and the measurement results returned to the PC.
CINEBRATE is controlled from a personal computer over the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. This is
achieved by using a driver that parses appropriate ASCII (text) commands from the PC application then transmits
them over the USB I/F.
Note:
While CINEBRATE is in Remote Mode, the instruments touch screen is disabled.
