In this section, characters sent to or received from the LS8000-3 are indicated
with a different font. This is to differentiate between the description of the
command or response and the command/response itself. Any text that
appears in mono-space font is text that is sent to or from the LS8000-3.
Text Example Font
Descriptive Text High Speed Pulse Setting
Command/Response Text L1000000
All commands sent to the LS8000-3 and all responses from the LS8000-3 end
in a <CR>. If commands are sent to the LS8000-3 ending in <CR><LF>
(Carriage Return followed by a Linefeed), the LS8000-3 will not process the
commands properly. All responses are be terminated with only a <CR>, not a
<CR><LF>
.
There are two different types of command syntaxes that the LS8000-3 uses.
The first type is backward compatible with legacy LaserSpeed 4000/8000
systems, and consists of one or two characters. In general, these commands
affect the LS8000-3's measurements or data processing. The other type
consists of longer commands, such as the *IPADDR command, which affect
communications, or are informational commands. These commands always
start with an asterisk character (*).
