In this section, characters sent to or received from the LS8500-4 are indicated with a different font. This is to
differentiate between the description of the command or response and the command/response itself. Any text
that appears in
mono-space font
is text that is sent to or from the LS8500-4.

All commands sent to the LS8500-4 and all responses from the LS8500-4 end in a
<CR>
. If commands are
sent to the LS8500-4 ending in
<CR><LF>
(Carriage Return followed by a Linefeed), the LS8500-4 will not
process the commands properly. All responses are be terminated with only a
<CR>
, not a
<CR><LF>
.
There are two different types of command syntaxes that the LS8500-4 uses. The first type is backward com-
patible with legacy LaserSpeed 4000/8000 systems, and consists of one or two characters. In general, these
commands affect the LS8500-4's measurements or data processing. The other type consists of longer com-
mands, such as the
*IPADDR
command, which affect communications, or are informational commands.
These commands always start with an asterisk character (
*
).
