Xantrex Technology ENET-XFR3 manual RS-232Operation, Command Syntax, Manual Conventions

Operation

RS-232Operation

When the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface card is configured for RS-232you can send and receive data between your power supply and computer, relying on bit serial communication. You can use the computer controller to issue commands to the power supply for programming, queries, calibration, or status. The power supply responds to the complete command set of device dependent software commands shown in “Command Reference” on page 3–9.

Ethernet Operation

When the card is configured for Ethernet, you can send and receive data between you power supply and computer via your network. The same command set is used for RS-232and Ethernet. The only difference is medium and protocol used.

Command Syntax

Manual Conventions

The manual uses these conventions when displaying command information. These characters are not part of the command but are used to denote parameters used with the command.

< > (angle brackets)	Angle brackets enclose a parameter. Do not include
	the angle brackets in the command line you send to
	the computer.
/ (slash)	Separates two alternative parameters. When a slash
	separates two parameters, you can use either
	parameter to achieve the same result.
	Example: <1/ON>
	Entering 1 or ON will achieve the same result.
