F0-9
- Move cursor to field 0 to 9
This command is used to move the cursor directly to the specified field number. Each parameter field on the LCD display has an
associated number with it, starting with 1 and increasing as you move from left to right, then top to bottom. For example, the Sweep
mode has seven fields:
Each field is numbered as follows:
Field 1 - St: 1,000,000.00 Hz
Field 2 - Stp: 21,500,000.00 Hz
Field 3 - Linear
Field 4 - Trig
Field 5 - Up
Field 6 - Time: 10,000 mS
Field 7 - 10.0 dBm
Field 0 has special meaning: turn the cursor off. When the cursor is off, the parameter values for a mode cannot be changed.
Turning the cursor off can be used to safeguard parameter values from being changed by inadvertent key presses or turns of the
rotary knob.
When the cursor is moved to a field other than 0, the cursor is always positioned in the rightmost position (least significant digit
position) of that field.
If a field value is entered that is out-of-range (i.e. you try to set the cursor to field 8 in Sweep mode), the cursor will be turned off.
NOTE: When writing control software, it is preferable to use this command to move the cursor instead of the "N" (next cursor
field) or "P" (previous cursor field) commands. This command ensures that the cursor goes directly to the desired field, regardless of
where it was before the command was issued.
? or H
- Print help menu
This command prints the on-line help menu. The menu is a listing of all remote control commands. To issue this command you
may press either the "H" or the "?" keys on your terminal.
^E
- Return a ^C
Sending an ASCII control E character (ASCII value 5) to the 630 will cause it to echo back a control C (ASCII value 3). This
feature can be used by remote control programs to confirm the presence of and successful communication with the 630.
