Additional Information
PING
Forces a prompt from the RTA-RS232 (used on power-up to start data flow).
:PING<CR>
N/A
:PING<CR>
Sends the PING command to the RTA-RS232
!<CR>
Reply from the RTA-RS232
This command is used in the event that the RTA-RS232 powers up before the Host
and the data flow control is set to Software. In this case, the Host will miss the
initial Prompt that the RTA-RS232 issues at power up. It is possible that the host
will then wait for a prompt, and will never receive one. The PING command is a
nonintrusive way to kick-start data flow. When the RTA-RS232 receives the PING
command, it simply responds with a PROMPT.
