Serial API
It is possible to control the SLICE-QTC through serial commands. Most functions of the SLICE-QTC
which can be performed through the GUI are also available through the serial API. These commands
can be sent either through a terminal emulator such as PuTTy or Tera Term, or via a python script as
shown in this
application note . Click here to access the SLICE-QTC API .
Upgrading the SLICE-QTC firmware is not always necessary to use the Serial API. Check
your installed firmware version in the settings menu against the most recent firmware
version given
here .
