30 IQ plus 2100 Installation Manual
5.0 EDP Commands
The IQ plus 210 indicator can be controlled by a personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the indicator
serial port. Control is provided by a set of EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press functions,
display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. The EDP port provides the capability to
print configuration data or to save that data to an attached personal computer. This section describes the EDP
command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the serial port.
5.1 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.
5.1.1 Key Press Commands
Key press EDP commands (see Table 5-1) simulate pressing the buttons on the front panel of the indicator.
5.1.2 Reporting Commands
Reporting commands (see Table 5-2) send specific information to the EDP port. These commands can be used in
both setup mode and normal mode.
5.1.3 The RESETCONFIGURATION Command
The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used to restore all configuration parameters to their default
values.
This command is equivalent to using the RESET function on the DEFLT menu.
All load cell calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.
5.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands
Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration
parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-8).
