9 COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTPUTS
Communication with the DFG-RS3 is achieved through the micro USB port located along the left side of
the housing, as shown in the illustration in the
Power section. Communication is possible only when the
indicator is in the main operating screen (i.e. not in a menu or configuration area).
The current reading is transmitted from the indicator when the
DATA key is pressed. For continuous
output, the indicator also responds to the ASCII command ‘?’ (no quotes), terminated with a Carriage
Return character or with a Carriage Return/Line Feed combination. The indicator’s responses are always
terminated with a Carriage Return/Line Feed. Any detected errors are reported back by means of error
code *10 (illegal command).
