Remote Channel Select
The 8500 Scanner can be fully controlled via the RS232 interface. The interface
uses the standard 9 pin PC connector and a standard serial lead. The scanner can
be sent individual commands directly from the Windows HYPER TERMINAL
program, any basic or high level program or from the ProCal Calibration System
To allow communication from PC based programs, these programs must be
configured to the following settings :
BAUD RATE : 9600
PARITY : NONE
DATA BITS : 8
STOP BITS : 1
Once connected, using the PC the channel number should be sent to the scanner to
set the output. The command MUST be terminated with a carriage return
(ASCII character 13), for example :
