(C)

Read system parameters. These commands read the system oriented commands, that is those not
associated with any film. The group command is the letter C followed by a system parameter
number.

(D)

Write System Parameters. These commands are used to set the system parameters. The group
command is the letter D followed by the system parameter number, the character "=", and the data
value.

______________________________________________________________________

Command: C
Mnemonic:

EXCT_rdsp (read system parameters)

Parameters:

[2..32] corresponding to system parameter types AFILM..REQMEMMOD .

Description:

Requests a read back from the selected system parameter value. See the list of
parameters and the corresponding ident code below.

Returns:

[RZCD_AOK][param_value] if proper parameter id was sent. Exact format of

[param_value] depends on the particular parameter for which the data was
requested.

[RZCD_ILDV] if improper value for parameter argument.

[RZCD_ILSN]

if

too

many

arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..


______________________________________________________________________

Command: D
Mnemonic:

EXCT_wrsp (write system parameters)

Parameters:

[2 .. 32] [assign_delim] [desired_value] corresponding to parameter types
AFILM..REQMEMMOD as in C command above. The desired_value is a numeric
data item of proper range and representation (# of decimals points, etc..) used to
update or change the value of the parameter to. This value is expressed in the same
manner as returned to the host when a C type command is issued (See A and B
commands above).

Description:

Command to set or store a new parameter value into one of the system parameter
variables.

Returns:

[RZCD_AOK] (A or B) if correctly processed.

[RZCD_ILDV] if improper value for parameter argument.

[RZCD_ILSN]

if

too

many

arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..

[RZCD_INHB] if chosen parameter can not be programmed at this time. This
applies to run number, active film or process, system configuration, etc..
