Command:
SET RXOFF
This command will disable the reception of characters at the next power up.
The RXOFF command will instruct the Micro SVT to ignore any communications from
the computer and is used to assure spurious signals due to external noise or long cable
lengths do not interrupt the Micro SVT.
On power up, the Micro SVT will wait for 200ms before entering into the RXOFF mode
and during this time sending a carriage return will disable the RXOFF features.
To exit the RXOFF mode, hold down the carriage return key and power up the unit, then
from the prompt, issue the SET RXON command.
Command:
SET RXON
Enable reception of characters at the next power up.
Command:
SET TIMEOUT nn [SE T nn]
Where ‘nn’ is time in minutes and represents an integer value from 0 to 30
This command instructs the Micro SVT to enter a logging mode after a specified time
interval has passed in which the instrument has been idle. A time interval of 0 will
deactivate the command. Use the DIS ST command to view the timeout value.
Example:
>set timeout 10
The above example will instruct the Micro SVT to enter the logging mode if it sits
idle at the command prompt for more than ten minutes.
>set timeout 0
(disable the timeout feature)
Note: Power the Micro SVT off, then on to exit the logging mode.
