0.1s 

0.1 seconds 

Note:

 

The characters are in USA/UK format, so that 

‘a

 

half’

as ‘0.5’

 

(rather than 

‘0,5’).

 

The command codes and their meanings are summarised below (that is, in the 
table on the next page). The upper-case commands are shown, followed by 
lower case letters denoting the numeric argument. 

10.2 

General commands 

The general command codes and their meanings are described below. The 
upper-case commands are shown, followed by lower case letters denoting 
the numeric argument. 

Note any changes using these commands are not saved permanently until the 

AW 

command has been issued. 

Save the settings to memory 

AW 

The results of the 

RW

RT

RE

, and 

TT 

commands are all saved. Once the 

settings are saved to memory, they are retained when the unit is switched 
off. If this is not done, changes to the settings are volatile, and if the unit 
is switched off, they revert to those in force when the last 

AW 

command 

was issued. 

Note:

 

The 

AW 

command is unnecessary when configuring the  VTS 

through it's web pages. The configuration is automatically saved. 

Report the firmware version 

VR 

This command returns the firmware version currently running in your VTS. 
For example: 

VTS (HW001) V002
