RS-232/RS-422 Communication

In this section, characters sent to or received from the LS8000-3 are indicated with a different font. This is to differentiate between the description of the command or response and the command/response itself. Any text that appears in mono-space font is text that is sent to or from the LS8000-3.

Command/Response Text	L1000000

All commands sent to the LS8000-3 and all responses from the LS8000-3 end in a <CR>. If commands are sent to the LS8000-3 ending in <CR><LF> (Carriage Return followed by a Linefeed), the LS8000-3 will not process the commands properly. All responses are be terminated with only a <CR>, not a <CR><LF>.

There are two different types of command syntaxes that the LS8000-3 uses. The first type is backward compatible with legacy LaserSpeed 4000/8000 systems, and consists of one or two characters. In general, these commands affect the LS8000-3's measurements or data processing. The other type consists of longer commands, such as the *IPADDR command, which affect communications, or are informational commands. These commands always start with an asterisk character (*).
