Remote  Control

  of  the  PR-680/680L  is  accomplished using  commands  sent  from  the  PC  in  ASCII  (text) 

strings to the instrument.  These commands are then executed and the requested information including 
measured values or instrument setup parameters are returned to the PC. 
The PR-680/680L is controlled from a personal computer over the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface.  
This is achieved by using a driver that parses appropriate ASCII (text) commands from the PC application 
then transmits them over the USB I/F to the PR-680/680L. 
Communication  protocol  is  identical  to  RS-232  communications.    The  USB  driver  emulates  an  
RS-232 interface including opening a COM: port, setting a baud rate, parity, stop bits and flow control.  
This  makes  Remote  Control  operations  available  for  application  software  written  in  Microsoft  Visual 
Basic, Microsoft C++ or any other language that is capable of opening a COM: port. 

Note: 

While the PR-680/680L is in Remote Mode, the instruments touch screen is disabled.
