C-6 Using Host Commands
Exercise #3 – Using
Ultraware’s Host Command
Window The Ultraware software package allows you to send host mode
commands without Hyperterminal or similar terminal emulator
program. The Host Command Window for Ultraware is shown below.
To activate the Host Command window, press the Control, Shift, and
F10 keys at the same time (Ctrl+Shft+F10) while Ultraware is open and
connected to a drive.
The Host Command window allows you to send host commands to
the drive, and it calculates and displays the checksum. However, you
still must
• convert data to hexadecimal numbers, and
• prefix the command string with the drive address.
For example, to turn on Digital Output 1 and Digital Output 3.
1. Locate the Digital Output Override command code (0x044).
2. Enter the appropriate hexadecimal commands in the Host
Command window.
The Digital Output data and mask fields in Ultraware will change
when the host command is correctly issued.
