Command		Number of	Number of
	Description	Host Data	Response
		Bytes	Data Bytes
188	Reports the setpoints and run times for each		Varies; sends
report	recipe step. The number of data bytes		4 data bytes
recipe step	returned depends on the number of steps in		for each
setpoints/	the recipe. For each recipe step, 4 data bytes		recipe step
run times	returned, indicating:
	• First 2 bytes = recipe step setpoint in
	watts
	• Second 2 bytes = recipe step run time in
	hundredths of seconds or joules,
	depending on the recipe mode (recipe
	mode is reported by CMD 188)
189	Reports the number of steps in the recipe, the
report	status of the most recent recipe run, and the
recipe	recipe mode (time or joules). Returns 3 data
steps,	bytes:
status, and	• Byte 1 = number of recipe steps
mode
	• Byte 2 = recipe status:
	bit 0 indicates ignition (1 = ignition
	detected; 0 = ignition not detected)
	bits 1, 2, and 3 indicate the most
	recently completed step number
	bits 4–7 are reserved or unassigned
	• Byte 3 = recipe mode (1 = time, 2 =
	joule)
193	Requests the RF pulsing frequency in Hz (set		4 data bytes
read	with CMD 93).		32-bit value
pulsing	Note: The response contains 4 data bytes. All
frequency
	represent frequency (LSB first).
196	Requests the duty cycle in% ON time		2 data bytes
read	Note: The response contains 2 data bytes		16-bit value
pulsing
	which represent duty cycle (LSB first)
duty cycle
	in percent on time.
198	Requests the revision level of the mainframe		3 data bytes
read	software. The returning packet contains three		3 ASCII
mainframe	ASCII characters—one letter, followed by a		characters
software	two-digit number. Used in conjunction with
revision	CMD 130 to obtain the version/revision of
level	the mainframe software.
