STROBE LIST:
The serial interface card is also equiped with a
strobe line. When the strobe line is triggered, a
chosen set of data will be transmitted to be dis-
played or printed. The selections for the display
list are entered in the program mode. Enter "1"
to add selections to the list and enter "0" to de-
lete selections from the list. The seven available
items for the strobe display list are: (1) Preset A,
(2) Preset B, (3) K-Factor A, (4) K-Factor B, (5)
Rate of A, (6) Rate of B, (7) Rate of C. When
setting the strobe list the unit will print :
ENTER STROBE LIST:
DO NOT DISPLAY-0 DISPLAY-1
The unit will prompt you:
PRESET A<DISPLAY>?
PRESET B<DISPLAY>?
K-FACTOR A<DISPLAY>?
K-FACTOR B<DISPLAY>?
RATE A<DISPLAY>?
RATE B<DISPLAY>?
RATE C<DISPLAY>?
If the above choices are entered, when the strobe
line is triggered (3-30V positive pulse) the unit
will transmit:
DEVICE# 1:
PA XXXXX
PB XXXXX
KA XXXXX
KB XXXXX
DA XXXXXX
DB XXXXXX
DC XXXXXX
(SEE COMMANDS BELOW FOR DESCRIP-
TION OF COMMAND CODES).
Each time the strobe line gets triggered the unit
will transmit this data unless the program mode
is entered and the strobe list altered.
After these four items have been entered they
will remain unaltered unless the program mode
is entered again and the values changed. The
unit is now set and must be addressed by it's
device number to come on line again.
SERIAL INPUT COMMANDS:
To get a unit on line you must address it by it's
device number. This is done by typing DXX(S),
XX= device number. The unit comes on line
and echos back DEVICE# XX. Insure that "DE-
VICE# XX:" is received before requests are sent.
The unit is now ready to receive a command or
string of commands seperated by a space. A
carriage return (enter) will enter the commands
and processing of requests begins. The carriage
return (Hex Code "D") puts the unit "off line"
after data is processed.

EP...........Unit will enter program mode.
DA..........Unit will display (transmit) Rate A.
DB..........Unit will display (transmit) RateB.
DC..........Unit will display (transmit) RateC.
KA..........Unit will display K-factor A.

with entered number.
KB..........Unit will display K-factor B
†*KB(S)XXXXX....Unit will load K-factor B
with entered number.
PA...........Unit will display Preset A.
†PA(S)XXXXX....Unit will load Preset A with
entered number.

teresis.
RN..........This resets (updates) normalization.
*THE UNIT WILL RECOGNIZE A DECI-
MAL IF ONE IS PLACED IN ANY OF
THESE DATA VALUES.
