Legacy Commands
These commands support a simple ASCII command set that is compatible with prior
generations of gamma monitoring products. Although most are supported, some are not
due to architectural differences. These commands are only supported on serial
communication channels via direct RS-232 or a USB connection (not supported on
Ethernet). A list of the supported and unsupported commands is described in the Appendix.
1.2.6
XML Commands
XML commands are new to the RSDetection unit and support all of the configurable
capability, measurements, and events. These commands and responses conform to the
XML standard widely used in internet data transfer. All of these make use of XML elements,
which typically have a start-tag and an end-tag with the content between them.
A description of these commands, which is beyond the scope of the user manual, is located
in a separate manual titled RSDetection Communication Manual, S131-200-COMM.
1.2.7
Notifications
Most of the communication between a connected computer and the RSDetection unit can
be accomplished by sending commands and receiving responses. Notifications can be
used to send information from the unit to the computer without a command. In the case of
events, these are generally sent when there is a change of state. For measurements a
notification is sent when a new sample is made, even if the value does not change as a
result of the update.
The three levels of control for sending notifications are described below.
