keypad. Once in local mode, the controller will not respond to any commands sent to it from
the remote computer except the Transfer to On Line command.
5.8.6 Reset
Causes the Lambda VF-5 controller to reset, changing all settings back to their defaults.
After the reset has completed, status information similar to that returned by the Status
command is returned to the remote computer.
5.8.7 Get Controller Type and Configuration
This command is used to obtain information about the controller as to its model and
configuration. The following table shows the type of information returned when issuing this
command.

*NOTE: The character shown in the “ASCII string” column for the command echo is a
typical visual representation of the byte value 253 decimal (FD hexadecimal) on both
Windows and Linux platforms. However, other platforms may display a different character
or nothing at all. For the command return data terminator (ASCII carriage return (13
decimal, 0D hexadecimal), generally no character will be displayed, although the carriage
return is acted upon in most cases in text-based console programs.
NOTE: The “Batch Transfer of Commands” and batch-related commands are not supported
in the Lambda VF-5 controller.
5.9 Remote Control Command Programming
This section describes some suggested tips and techniques when writing programs on the
remote control computer for communicating with the Lambda VF-5 via either the serial RS-
232 port or the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port. The following paragraphs and the code
examples deal with remote control command programming in a general manner, abstracted
from telecommunications medium. The discussions and examples are applicable to either the
serial RS-232 port or the USB port. The programming specifics for either the serial or USB
ports are covered in the respective chapters, following this chapter. The discussions and
examples are also relatively platform independent. The code samples written in the C
programming language, for example, are written in a relatively primitive form, and thus
should be easily portable to any platform for which C support exists (Windows, UNIX, Linux,
