MACRO COMMANDS
MD n Macro Definition (1 < n < 16)
This command is used to define a new macro command. Defining more than one macro with the same
value of n, will simply result in the loss of all but the last macro so defined. To define a macro, choose
the desired macro number in the allowable range, enter MD followed by this number and a comma and
then type the command or command sequence just as you would if running it directly.
Examples:
MD1,MR50000,WS100,GH <return> Defines macro #1
MD2,TT,TP <return> Creates a macro command to Tell Target, then Tell Position. Defines macro #2.
EM2 <return> Executes macro #2, (Same as entering TT,TP<return>)
EM n Execute Macro Command n (1 < n < 16)
This command is used to run a previously defined macro command.
Example: EM3 <return> Execute macro #3
RM Reset Macro
Used only to initialize the memory reserved for macro commands. It clears the macro storage.
Example: RM <return> Removes all stored macros
Note: This command needs 5 seconds for execution. During that time no communication is possible.
UTILITY COMMANDS
RT Reset
Restarts controller as if from a power-off condition. All values are restored to their defaults.
EN Echo on
Enables echoing of command characters as they are entered. Each character received is echoed
unchanged. This is a very useful feature when the Suprmtr6 is being controlled from a terminal.
EF Echo off
Disables echoing. When control is from a computer program, it is sometimes easier to program if there
is no echo, unless the program uses it for verification of successful transmission.
HE Help
Reports all available commands
