character.
• This echo character should be read by the computer and compared to the character that was sent.
This is the command set format:
<Command><Space><Arg1><Space><Argn><CR>
• Most Commands are defined as 2 capital characters using the ASCII character set (see Index to
command codes on p. 44).
• If a command has several arguments (Argn), the ASCII space control character separates each
argument.
• The command is sent using the ASCII carriage return (CR) control character.
• The line feed control character may also be included but must follow the carriage return character.
When a command is sent that returns data, the characters returned are in ASCII format. Each additional
argument returned will be separated by the ASCII space or tab control character. Refer to the selected
command for the actual format. Data returned is terminated with a carriage return line feed control
character sequence.

In the following example, the computer will set the shaker speed to 250 rpm:
 In HyperTerminal, type CS<Space>250<CR>.
The shaker echos CS<Space>250<CR>
The shaker is set to 250 rpm
• When sending a command in HyperTerminal, do not allow the pause between any two
characters of you message to last longer than 10 s.
• After 10 s the shaker's serial port will reset itself.
Do not actually type the angled brackets. < Space> means press the space bar <CR> means
press the carriage return.
