Commands
The MATE3 serial commands are text based, using a command and response method. For each command, there
is a corresponding response.

Commands start with a “<” and end with a “>”.

Responses start with a “ [ “ and end with a “ ] ”.
Example:

PC sends the command <INV:1> (enable search mode).

The MATE3 responds with [INV:1].
If the serial data stream is enabled, the response will be inserted between output lines of device status data. The
PC commands will operate if the serial data stream is disabled.
NOTE:
Bulk, Absorption, and Float commands are universal commands sent to all ports. They cannot be sent to
individual devices. If a more extensive or flexible command set is needed, the OutBack AXS Port Modbus
Interface is recommended. (The AXS Port, however, can only send individual commands and not universal ones.)
