External Control Commands

Command Format

To send a command, input a command name and parameters and press [Enter] (<CR(Carriage Return)> or <CR+LF(Line Feed)>) key.

Command inputs are echoed back to the 23rd port of telnet/RS-232C except when the XCI-SX1/V3 is transferring the LUT binary.

Notes

•Input characters are case-sensitive.

•Input decimal numbers for parameters.

•Maximum number of commands that can be input is 256 (except in Transparent mode).

Command Specification

The XCI-SX1/V3 returns an echo to valid inputs: letters of the alphabet, numbers, “-,” spaces, backspaces and [ENTER] (<CR> or <CR+LF>). Input of letters and symbols other these above are all ignored.

•When command execution is completed normally, the response message to each command is displayed.

•If an invalid command is input, the following messages are displayed.

error: invalid command or parameter.<CR> Type ‘--help’ to display all possible commands.<CR>

•When no parameter is input for a command with parameters, the current status of the command is displayed.

•When “--help” is input instead of parameters for a command with parameters, the help of the command is displayed.

•When the Enter key is pressed with no command input, only the carriage return is carried out.

The commands described in this chapter are valid when the GUI application is operating.
