SET_LLSCA 1.2
SET_PASS_LENGTH 1000
SET_PASS_PRES 0
SET_ULSCA 6.5

RESET

Resets the MCS to the state just after power is applied.

SET_DISCRIMINATOR voltage

Sets the input discriminator threshold to the specified voltage. Voltage has a maximum value
of +3.0 and a minimum value of

!

1.6. Legal values b3.0 and

!

1.6 occur nominally

every 0.0015256 volts. When an invalid value is specified, the value is rounded off to the
closest legal value and a warning message is returned. See also SHOW_DISCRIMINATOR.

SET_DISCRIMINATOR_LEADING

Makes the input discriminator leading (rising) edge sensitive. After this command is issued,
the counters will increment when the input crosses the threshold with a positive slope. See
also SHOW_DISC_EDGE and SET_DISCRIMINATOR_TRAILING.

SET_DISCRIMINATOR_TRAILING

Makes the input discriminator trailing (falling) edge sensitive. After this command is issued,
the counters will increment when the input crosses the threshold with a negative slope. See
also SHOW_DISC_EDGE and SET_DISCRIMINATOR_LEADING.

SET_DWELL dwell

Sets the dwell time to the specified value. Dwell is in units of seconds and exponential nota-
tion is permitted. Dwell has a maximum value of 65535 and a minimum value of 5×10

!9

.

Legal values between the minimum and maximum values may be determined by using the
VERIFY_DWELL command. The value can then be set with SET_DWELL. If an invalid
value is specified, the value is rounded to the closest legal value and a warning message is
returned. See also SHOW_DWELL, ENAB_DWELL_EXT and DISA_DWELL_EXT.

SET_DWELL_ETHLD voltage

Sets the external dwell threshold. The value of voltage can be a floating-point number
between –1.6 V and +3.0 V. Legal values occur between these limits nominally every
0.0015256 volts. When an invalid value is specified, the value is rounded off to the closest
legal value. See also SHOW_DWELL_ETHLD.

SET_INPED number

Sets the input impedance. Number has only 2 valid values, zero and 1. Zero sets the input
impedance to 50

Ω

; 1 sets the input impedance to 1 k

Ω

. See also SHOW_INPED.
