Serial Programming Commands

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program your imager. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.

The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-11). The following commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.

Conventions

The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:

parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.

[option] An optional part of a command.

{Data} Alternatives in a command.

bold Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows that appear on the screen.

Menu Command Syntax

Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity only):

Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage

Prefix

Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).

Tag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu

 

command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings

 

are identified with a Tag of 232.

SubTag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu

 

command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the

 

RS-232 baud rate is BAD.

Data

The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-

 

Tag.

Storage

A single character that specifies the storage table to which the

 

command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-

 

mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.

 

A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s

 

non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table

 

only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power

 

cycle.
