The BrewCMD is a low level utility program to facilitate sending commands to and displaying responses
from the Brewer. Hence it can be used for simple operation tasks. There are two versions of BrewCMD
available:
1. BrewCMD.exe
This version is a DOS based program and works fine with platforms such as W95 and W98,
which are the most common platforms to operate the Brewer.bat software. This version of
BrewCMD however does not work with WindowsXP.
2. BrewCMDW.exe
The “W” extension indicates that this program is a Windows based program. This version
works on XP systems. BrewCMDW does not work on MS-DOS, W95 or W89 systems.
To run the BrewCMD(W) utility the Brewer must be connected via the serial port of the PC. The
BrewCMD utility is intended for the use of the scientist using the Brewer and the technicians
installing the Brewer. The BrewCMD utility has three intended functions:
• To provide a tool for verifying the validity of connections to the Brewer and for verifying
the low level message/response operation of the Brewer.
• Uploading firmware and configuration files.
•
To facilitate sending commands to and displaying responses from the Brewer.
Note: The BrewCMD program is a low level utility. Using this utility can modify the calibration and
equipment configuration information.
For information on how to upload firmware and configuration file please refer to the Service Manual.
