start or stop data. The RS232 cable must be wired appropriately. If the software flow
control characters are set to $00, software flow control is not possible.
In the Transparent Mode flow control is also determined by the settings of TRFLOW and
TXFLOW.

XOFF n
(n = $00 - $FF)
default $13 <Ctrl+S>
This command selects the character sent by the TALON to the computer to stop input
from the computer. If set to $00, hardware flow control must be used. For software flow
control set this parameter to the character the computer expects to see to stop sending
data to the TALON.

XON n
(n = $00 - $FF)
default $11 <Ctrl+Q>
This command selects the character sent by the TALON to the computer to restart input
from that device. If set to $00, hardware flow control must be used. For software flow
control set this parameter to the character the computer expects to see to restart sending
data to the TALON.

Additional commands for TALON with I/O board.
ALARM
Sets exception conditions which will cause an alarm packet to be sent out.
ALARM ANALOG r1/r2/r3/r4/r5/r6/r7/r8
Where r is "OFF" or specifies a valid range of values based on the RANGE
command
For example, if RANGE is specified as 0.00:5.00 for one of the analog inputs and
ALARM ANALOG is specified as 3.00:4.00, the Talon will send an alarm packet if that
input goes below 3.00 or above 4.00.
