Serial Commands

Description

The PS-6144 controller recognizes a set of 95 commands. Some of these commands
involve testing and diagnostic functions performed at the factory. Because these com-
mands are of little use in field installations, they are not included in the following pages.
For information on the complete command set, contact the factory.

The commands are grouped by general function. In the syntax shown for each com-
mand and reply, the characters used for STX, ETX, ACK, and NAK are substituted, as
listed on the previous page.

The commands are listed in hex.
