3.2 Terminal Operation
Command Set
The following COMMAND SET is comprised of STANDARD, SETUP and RADIATION commands.
STANDARD commands are always available to all communication ports. SETUP commands (marked "s")
are used to configure the 1060 and are made available through Switch S2 as follows:
Port 1 (RS-232), S2, Position 2 ON = Setup commands available.
Port 2 (RS-485), S2, Position 3 ON = Setup commands available.
Port 3 (RS-485), S2, Position 4 ON = Setup commands available.
RADIATION commands (marked "r") are used to poll the 1060 for specific radiation data.
To enter Setup mode, enter the command ESM (Switch 2 must be ON). This will enable the SETUP and
disable the RADIATION commands. To exit Setup mode, enter XSM. This will disable the SETUP and
enable the RADIATION commands.
