13.4 Remote operation / Key simulation
The Titroprocessor 796 can be remotely operated via an RS232 interface.
This remote control is set up as a key simulation, i.e. from a personal com-
puter key codes can be transmitted to the Titroprocessor 796 via the RS232
interface; the Titroprocessor interprets these as being normal keyboard op-
erations. In addition the 'Terminal remote control mode' can be switched on
(see configuration, page 36); this has the effect that the screen contents of
the Titroprocessor (including ANSI character attributes) are transmitted to
the PC.
Switching on remote control
On the interface configuration page (see page 44ff) the RS232 interface
connected to the computer must be set as the communication interface.
The data transfer mode
'keyCTRL' must be selected and data reception
switched on.
³ Receive mode on ³
³ Communication Int. 1 ³
³ Commun. mode keyCTRL ³
The data transfer mode 'keySEND' is used to transmit the key codes of the
keys which are pressed on the Titroprocessor.
It is possible to switch on the 'keyCTRL' mode automatically during a
method run. In this case the Titroprocessor keyboard is blocked to prevent
manual entries.
Take care that the set interface parameters (baud rate, etc.) of the Titro-
processor coincide with those of the personal computer.
A simple terminal software is sufficient to control the Titroprocessor 796
from a PC. Please contact your local Metrohm agency for further technical
support.
