The MatrixPRO will respond with a “#” prompt when the command processor is ready for a
command. The command syntax is shown below
cmd arg1 arg2 … argn<cr>
Please note:
• A space (ASCII 32) must be inserted between the command and any arguments
that follow. A space must also be inserted between all argument parameters,
except for the last argument in the chain.
• All commands in RS-232 mode must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII
13). The carriage return will tell the command processor to begin execution of the
command.
• Query commands will return the following:
=result
#
The “=” indicates that a result from a query command is following. The “result” will
follow directly after the “=”. The value of the result will vary depending on the
query command used. A new line will be generated and the prompt (#) will
indicate the system is ready for a new command.
