7.2 Command Summary

The information contained in the rest of this section covers all of the normal commands that are required to operate the instrument from a remote terminal. If you are going to be writing computer programs to communicate with the M100AH (i.e., operating the port in COMPUTER MODE) we suggest that you order a supplementary manual "The RS-232 Interface", Teledyne API part number 01350. This manual shows additional features of the port designed to support a computer driven interface program.
