Command Set
The Command Set consists of all the commands and queries that the PCX-7401
supports via remote computer control. Commands and queries must be in all capital
letters. Commands and queries that require data, denoted as
n
, must have a space
between the command and the data.
The PCX-7401 expects “\n” to be the end line character of commands and queries.
The responses to the user’s computer are also terminated with “\n”. For every
command sent to the PCX-7401, a response will be sent back to the user from the
PCX-7401. The user’s software must wait for a response before sending another
command to avoid an overflow of the PCX-7401 receive buffer.
NOTE:
Any change to a command adjustment typically needs <200 ms to complete.
In the examples, the command or query is in black; the response is in blue italics.
