DDD:HH:MM

is the time stamp, the date and time when the message was issued. It

consists of the Day-of-year (DDD) as a number from 1 to 366, the hour
of the day (HH) as a number from 00 to 23, and the minute (MM) as a
number from 00 to 59.

[ID]

is the analyzer ID, a number with 1 to 4 digits.

MESSAGE

is the message content that may contain warning messages, test
measurements, DAS reports, variable values, etc.

<CRLF>

is a carriage return / line feed pair, which terminates the message.

The uniform nature of the output messages makes it easy for a host computer to parse
them into an easy structure. Keep in mind that the front panel display does not give any
information on the time a message was issued, hence it is useful to log such messages
for trouble-shooting and reference purposes. Terminal emulation programs such as
HyperTerminal can capture these messages to text files for later review.

8.3. Remote Access by Modem

The 6200T can be connected to a modem for remote access. This requires a cable
between the analyzer’s COM port and the modem, typically a DB-9F to DB-25M cable
(available from Teledyne Analytical Instruments with P/N WR0000024).
Once the cable has been connected, check to ensure that the DTE-DCE is in the correct
position (refer to Section 6.1). Also ensure that the 6200T COM port is set for a baud
rate that is compatible with the modem, which needs to operate with an 8-bit word
length with one stop bit.
The first step is to turn on the MODEM ENABLE communication mode (Mode 64,
Section 6.2.1). Once this is completed, the appropriate setup command line for your
modem can be entered into the analyzer. The default setting for this feature is:

AT Y0 &D0 &H0 &I0 S0=2 &B0 &N6 &M0 E0 Q1 &W0

This string can be altered to match your modem’s initialization and can be up to 100
characters long.
