Updating Generator Firmware

Advanced Programming Methods

All current Models in our 801 and 802 series support a command and query language that allows you to develop your own software application to operate and program the generator. Sample executable and source code files are available from Quantum Data that you can use as a starting point for your application. Please refer to the Programmer's Manual files on the Software and Documenta- tion CD-ROM
