PUTR PUT Relative
Classification: Direct processor control
Command Syntax: PUTR <value>
Limits: <value> = 0 to 2^(SIZE)-1
Query Syntax: None
Description: The PUTR command writes the specified value <value> into
the location pointed to by the address register (see the ADDR
command). The parameter <value> is interpreted according to
the current setting of BASE (see the BASE command). The number
and format of the bits written depend on the current setting of
S I Z E ( s e e t h e S I Z E c o m m a n d ) . T h e a d d r e s s r e g i s t e r i s
automatically incremented by SIZE bits after the current location
has been written to.
Note – This command will normally be used only with custom
applications and command files created by Quantum Data.
Indiscriminate use of this command can cause the generator to
stop operating and / or the loss of stored data in nonvolatile
RAM.
Other Required Cmds: PUTR expects parameters formatted according to the current
radix set by the BASE command.
Example:
U s e o n l y w i t h c o d e s u p p l i e d b y Q u a n t u m

RATC pixel RATe Calibration factor
Classification: System parameter setting
Command Syntax: RATC <factor>
Limits: <factor> = Floating point number equal to calibration factor
Typical min. = 0.99990
Typical max = 1.00010
Query Syntax: RATC?
Query Response: <factor>
Description: The RATC command sets an internal multiplication factor used
in setting the pixel clock frequency. The multiplication factor
can be set to compensate for the frequency error of the internal
reference crystal. Having to use a factor outside of the typical
range may indicate a failure of generator’s hardware. Re-
initializing the generator’s memory sets the calibration factor
to a factory-default setting of 1.00000.
Note – The RATC parameter is a system level parameter that
will affect the pixel clock frequency of all Formats that are
recalled. The RATC value will be retained when the generator
is powered down and back up again. Query the current setting
of RATC if you are experiencing problems with the pixel clock
or scan rate being off in frequency.
Other Required Cmds: None
