Galil DMC-1400 SA

DMC-1400 Series Command Reference SA ● 179

FUNCTION: Send Command

DESCRIPTION:

SA sends a command from one Galil controller to another controller or IOC-7007 board over Ethernet.

Any command can be sent to another Galil card and will be interpreted by the card as a “local”

command.

Note: A wait statement (e.g. WT5) must be inserted between successive calls to SA.

ARGUMENTS: SAh= arg or SAh=arg,arg,arg,arg,arg,arg,arg,arg where

h is the handle being used to send commands to other Galil Ethernet controller.

arg is a command, number, Galil controller or IOC-7007 operand, variable, mathematical

function, or string; The range for numeric values is 4 bytes of integer (231)followed by

two bytes of fraction (+/-2,147,483,647.9999). The maximum number of characters for a

string is 6 characters. Strings are identified by quotations.

Typical usage would have the first argument as a string such as “KI” and the subsequent

arguments as the arguments to the command: Example SAF= “KI”,1,2 would send the

command “KI 1,2”
