C.  Serial Operation (Optional) 

 

The following is a description of the RS-232 ASCII instruction set to operate the CX series of 
RF generators.  The baud rate is selectable via a DIP switch on the uP control PCB behind the 
front panel and is  factory set to 9600 baud, N, 8, 1, with echo. 

 

1.  All incoming instructions need to be terminated with a carriage return (HEX 'D') except for the ATTENTION 

(!) and EXIT (#) commands. 

 
2.  The CX interface does not normally require handshaking for it's input because it is interrupt driven with a 

1K buffer.  Handshake control of it's output is optional. 

 
3.  The (PROMPT) response is defined as: <CR><LF> > or HEX  D,  A,  &  3E

4.  Function descriptions: 

 

! - ATTENTION 
 

The '!' command redirects control of the RF generator from either local (front panel) or 
analog remote (15 pin 'D' connector) to the serial port (9 pin 'D' connector). There will be 
no response from the CX from any other ASCII codes sent while in local or analog 
remote modes.  Upon receipt of the ASCII '!', the CX will disable RF, set power setpoint 
to 0 watts, disable echoing of ASCII characters, and issue a PROMPT.  The CX is now 
ready to receive ASCII commands via the serial port and will not respond to local or 
analog remote commands.  This command does not require a carriage return <CR>. 

 
SPxxxx - SET RF POWER 
 

This command provides for forward power setpoint (in watts).  The syntax allows up to 
four digits (xxxx) with leading zeroes OK. 
 
This command only adjusts the setpoint for the CX and does not enable or disable the 
RF power. 
 

ER - ENABLE RF 

 

This command enables RF power at the preprogrammed setpoint SPxxxx (SET RF 
POWER).  The power out will start at 0 watts and increase linearly to the setpoint over 
the period of time as set by P+xx (UPRAMP TIME).
