Chapter 3: Operation

RS-232-Interface operation

All important unit functions can be remote controlled via the RS-232-Interface (V24 standard) by a PC

terminal which can be operated with commercial terminal programs (e.g. Telix, Procomm...). AS a data

terminal (DDE) the VOR/ILS Analyzer EVS200 must be connected with a RS-232-1:1-Interface.Also

it is possible to control the unit with an user defined program. The necessary commands for that pur-

pose are described below.

COM-Parameter

The com parameters parity, number of data bits, and stop bits cannot be changed and are defined as

"firmware“.

non parity bit (N),

8 data bits (8),

1stopbit (1).

Handshake

Hardware handshake is renounced.

Handshake is performed by software as a transmitted sequence e.g. "READY“ or as a measuring

value or a tuning value e.g. "RF107000“.

Control commands

There are two categories of control commands.

super commands (mode independant, unit related)

mode dependant commands (specified mode must first be selected)

The following table makes clear the control commands structure.
