4.2.2.6 TERMINATING CHARACTER(S)
The Terminating Character(s) is added at the end of an event sample to match the
requirements of the host terminal or application software. The Terminating
Character(s) consists of one or two hexadecimal characters.
The default
Terminating Characters are 0D Hex (Carriage Return) followed by 0A Hex (Line
Feed).
4.2.3 DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION
You may enable or disable Dynamic Configuration for the PDI. Dynamic
configuration mode allows non-verbose or "on-the-fly" configuration commands to
be issued to the PDI which are summarized in Section 5.2.
The default Dynamic
Configuration setting is disabled.
4.3 DATA COMMANDS
You may issue PDI data commands through a host module to perform single
operations while temporarily overriding the module's current operating
configuration. Some data commands apply to all types of DAC modules, while
others apply to specific modules. Data commands may be entered repeatedly to
get specific event samples. You may issue a single data command to obtain event
samples from multiple channels. Data commands must be used to obtain event
samples when using Command Reporting Method.
PDI data commands are sent through a host module using the following
procedure:
1. Select the PDI from the host module by sending a select sequence which
consists of the port select code ($BT - default), the desired module
number (2 to 16), and a terminating character of Carriage Return (0D
Hex) or Line Feed (0A Hex). For example, to select an PDI Module
located in slot 15 using the default port select code, send
$BT15<cr> .
