EDP Commands
EDP commands are case sensitive. Commands must be entered in upper case.
The 482-AG indicator may be controlled by a personal computer, using a terminal emulator program or by a remote keyboard
connected to one of the indicators communication ports. Control of the indicator is accomplished through a set of EDP
commands that simulate front panel key press functions, display and change configuration parameters and perform reporting
functions. This section describes the EDP command set.
6.1 The EDP Command Set
The EDP command set can be divided into five groups: key press commands, reporting commands, the
RESETCONFIGURATION
special function command, parameter setting commands and transmit weight data commands.
When the indicator processes an EDP command, it responds with the message
OK
. The
OK
response verifies that the
command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the indicator
responds with
??
.
The following sections list the commands and command syntax used for each of these groups.
6.1.1 Key Press Commands
Key press EDP commands simulate pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator. Most commands can be used in both
configuration and weigh mode. Several of the commands serve as pseudo keys, providing functions that are not represented by
a key on the front panel.
