similar to the following:
?w3%baud=9600$#7f&changed?
Example 2: FRONT PANEL
Each rate is represented by one of the following
front panel keys:
Key 1 = 1200 Key 2 = 2400
Key 3 = 4800 Key 4 = 9600
In order to change the baud rate, perform the
following steps:
1) Press & Hold both keys 5 and 6
simultaneously for 2.5 seconds.
2) LEDs 1, 2, 3, and 4 will turn on and one of
the four will be flashing. The flashing LED
represents the current baud rate setting.
3) Press & Hold for 2.5 seconds the key
representing the desired baud rate.
4) After 2.5 seconds, all 4 LEDs will be
extinguished.
5) The new baud rate is set.
SPECIAL COMMANDS
These commands allow special character strings to
be sent to external devices. The strings may be
used to issue commands to custom equipment
connected to the MultiTasker. Also included in this
section are commands to test the internal memory
and display all available RS-232 commands.
24. [TXR]
This command is used to send command strings
to the RS-232 bus through the MultiTasker.
Command Format: [TXRxyz]
xyz = text string ("abc","123",…)
Example:
Send the text string "HELLO" to the RS-232 bus.
The string will be ignored by the MultiTasker, but
not the unit receiving the command. To do this,
send the command [TXRHELLO] and the
following will be sent to the remaining devices
connected to the RS-232 bus:
HELLO
25. [TXM]
This command is used to send command strings
to the RS-232 bus through the MultiTasker, but
it adds opening and closing brackets to the
