RPM4™ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.4.4	PROGRAM MESSAGE DESCRIPTIONS
#
Purpose		To allow the host PC to communicate with a device connected to the RPM4 COM2 port.
Classic		“#xx”
Arguments		xx:	The string to send out of the RPM4 COM2 port. It must be less than
			40 characters long.
Remarks		The RPM4 COM2 port can be used to communicate to another RS232 device (such as
		another RPM4). This allows the user to use a single COM port or IEEE-488 port on the
		host computer to communicate with the RPM4 and another RS232 device. A carriage
		return and a line feed (<CR><LF>) are added to the string.
		After this program message is issued, the RPM4 will reply back every string received by
		the RPM4 COM2 port that is terminated with a carriage return. Line feeds are discarded.
		This will discontinue when the next query is sent to the RPM4.
		There is no other reply from this program message. Prior to using this program message,
		you must ensure that the RPM4 COM2 port is correctly set up to communicate with the
		device on COM2. Refer to the “COM2=“ program message.
Example		Sent:	“#VER”
(classic)		Reply:	“DH INSTRUMENTS, INC RPM4 us A1000/A0015 Ver2.00 ”
		This example assumes that a second RPM4’s COM1 port is connected to the RPM4
		COM2 port. This example gets the version of the second RPM4.
