C-Link Protocol Commands
This appendix provides a description of the C-Link protocol commands
that can be used to remotely control the Partisol 2000
i
and 2000
i
-D
Samplers using a host device such as a PC or a datalogger. C-Link protocol
may be used over RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet. C-Link functions can be
accessed over Ethernet using TCP/IP port 9880.
Streaming data is sent out the serial port or the Ethernet port on a user-
defined periodic basis. Streaming data over Ethernet is only generated when
a connection is made on TCP port 9881.
Up to three simultaneous connections per protocol may be made over
Ethernet.

Each command sent to the Sampler must begin with the American
Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) symbol or byte value
equivalent of the instrument's identification number plus 128. For
example, if the instrument ID is set to 25, then each command must begin
with the ACSII character code 153 decimal. The Sampler ignores any
command that does not begin with its instrument identification number. If
the instrument ID is set to 0, then this byte is not required. For more
