F. CONTROL CODES FOR COMPUTER CONTROL
If a cable is connected to the serial port and the codes listed below are sent to the indicator, the
indictor will perform the listed tasks. This can be quite useful, if programming of the indicator is
to be done from a computer. All information that can be entered in from the front panel can be
done through the serial port. This includes ration and feeding information. The only operation
that cannot be done through the serial port is the pressing of calibration switch (SW1). This is an
NTEP requirement. However, if a single raw count reading is needed while in any mode, the “T”
DATA REQUEST command can be issued to get the current raw count value. This command
may be issued continuously to access sequential rawcount clues. If data is to be entered for
batching or feeding information (i.e. information on the 2x40 display) the same entry format for
letters is required as with front panel entry. This means that to enter the letter “Q”, for example,
the number 7 should be sent through the serial port followed by the down arrow twice. The
information that is displayed on the upper display will be sent back through the serial port. There
is no means of transmitting any of the information on the 2x40 display back through the serial port
to the host computer.
