ADFM Commands
MI? Displays the current dial-out interval setting.
MI 3600 Sets the dial-out interval to 3600 seconds ( 1 hour ).
Example: For example, if you want to set the ADFM to call the host
once per day, send the following:
MI 86400
The dial-out interval takes effect only when the ADFM unit is
actively pinging. At the end of each ensemble, the time of the
next ping is compared to the time of the next call to the host.
If the next ping comes first, the ADFM remains in ping mode,
sets the alarm to wake it up at the next ping time, and goes
back to sleep. If the time to call the host comes before the
next ping, the ADFM suspends ping operation, sets the alarm
to wake it up at the time to call the host, and goes back to
sleep. During this time comparison at the end of an ensemble
collection, if it is determined that the time to call the host has
passed, the call will be made immediately. It is important to
note that it is the ping cycle time that determines when and
how often the ADFM will wake up to check to see if it is time
to call the host. In order for this mechanism to work properly,
the time between ensembles (TE) plus the time required for
the ping must be less than the dial-out interval (MI).
The dial-out interval defaults to one day (86400 seconds) at
cold power up (i.e. not wakeup from sleep mode). Once set to
a new value, it does not need to be reset until another cold
power up occurs.
MM - Modem Monitor
Purpose: This command enables and disables the Modem communica-
tions monitor.
Format: MM n
Range: n = 0,1 (0 = off, 1 = on)
Default: MM0
Description: If enabled (MM 1), all data traffic between the ADFM and its
onboard Modem is echoed to the ADFM RS-232 port. If a PC
is set up to log data from the RS-232 port, enabling the Mo-
dem monitor can help to resolve communication problems
with the Modem. If the Modem monitor is disabled (MM 0),
Modem traffic is not echoed to the RS-232. The Modem
monitor is disabled by default at cold power up, and every
time a BREAK is received, but will remain as set by this
command between wakeups.
