PDG-2515/2520 Operating Manual

Reply:

The reply generated will be either response to the data sent to the unit, as in a query, or an error code. The error code will be prefaced by a ‘#’ and then the ascii code itself. The codes are explained below. The error code, whether it is 0 (which indicates NO ERROR) or a valid error is prefaced by the ‘#’ character to distinguish the data from a valid reply. For example, if the pulse width was queried (CHNx:PULS:WIDT?), a valid response would not have a ‘#’ character as the first character, but if there was an error (such as invalid channel, parse error, etc.) the response would send a ‘#’ character as it’s first byte.

The ASCII commands:

The commands sent are in four letter words separated by a colon. The data is separated by a single white space character (0x20) and is in the from x.xxE+xx. For example, to set the frequency to 1.35 KHz you would send the string CHAN:PULS:FREQ 1.35E+03. Each channel in the unit is distinguished by a CHNx, where x is the channel the remote is talking to. For example, to set the pulse width of channel 2 to 150 us, the string sent would be CHN2:PULS:WIDT 1.50E-04.
