CTRL Interface control
x Controlling of external instruments
via the remote and RS232 interface.
This function is used for data com-
munication with or control of con-
nected instruments.
x The first parameter stands for the
selection of the interface. The
second parameter defines the state
of the remote output lines or data to
be transmitted via RS232 interface.
Parameters for remote interface
x Bit pattern with 14 digits (
0 , 1 or * )
for the 14 output lines or predefined
patterns accessible by the
<SELECT> key ( 'INIT 732' , 'FILL
A 1' , etc.).
Parameters for RS232 interface
x Character string with up to 14
alphanumerical characters. Default
value: '&D.S"9"' , may be set with
<CLEAR>. Most Metrohm instru-
ments can be controlled with such
remote control commands, see
section 5.2.
Numerical entry ('2')
or
Interface control
x Setting the 14 signal lines of the
remote interface or sending a
character string via the RS232
interface to control instruments
connected.
x Predefined bit patterns are
available for the remote interface
and can be selected via simple
short-names (e.g. 'INIT 732' or
'FILL A 1' ).
x Character strings consisting of 14
ASCII characters may be defined
with the RS232 interface.

WAIT Numerical entry ('3')
or
Define waiting time
x Waiting for a certain time interval to
elapse in a sequence.

DEF Numerical entry ('0')
.
<
PRINT Print report
x The <PRINT> key serves for the
manual printout of reports.
x The choice of printer type and the
parameters of the RS232 interface
must be done in the Configuration
menu under '>RS232 settings' .
Numerical entry ('.')
Text entry
x In a menu or sequence line in which
entry of text is required, (e.g.
method name), text edit mode is
activated with "<".
x Existing text is deleted in this event
and the text cursor is set on the left
margin of the text field.
