E.2.
How do I enter the RS-232 command string?
The
dvp
header, followed by a comma, is utilized to delimit the header from the command (no spaces). The
following is a
Windows HyperTerminal
example, issuing
Power ON
, utilizing a standard Modem cable:
•
dvp,on
[
↵
Enter]
[
↵
Enter]
denotes a carriage return, or pressing
[
↵
Enter]
on the keyboard
Simultaneous commands may also be issued to the DVP-1080 processor by implementing a
comma
, to
delimit each command, prior to issuing the final
carriage return
, or rather,
[
↵
Enter]
.
