4.3.1.1

Reset

 

 

 

This command will cause the gateway to do a complete cold start. The gateway will ignore the next message.

4.3.1.2Time Stamp

This command controls whether a 16 bit time stamp is appended to the end of the bus message reports.

4.3.1.3Transmit Echo

This command controls whether transmitted messages are echoed back to the host when they are sent. Echoed back messages will have their transmit bit set. Currently the transmit echo is disabled.

4.3.1.4Software Version Request

This command requests the gateway software version (ASCII).

4.3.1.5Trigger

This command will cause the gateway to toggle the trigger LED upon receiving the specified byte pattern. Up to 12 data bytes may be used. This feature is helpful for triggering an oscilloscope. (Not available with IDB firmware)
