Teledyne API Model 200AU NOX Analyzer Instruction Manual, 02293, Rev. F

Table 5-11: RS-232 Switching From Terminal Mode to Computer Mode

Key

Function

Control-T (ASCII 20 decimal)

Switch to terminal mode (echo, edit)

 

 

Control-C (ASCII 3 decimal)

Switch to computer mode (no echo, no edit)

 

 

If the command line doesn't seem to respond to keystrokes or commands, one of the first things you should do is send a Control-T to switch the command line interface into terminal mode. Also, some communication programs remove CTRL-T and CTRL-C characters from the byte stream, therefore these characters will not be sent to the analyzer. Check your communications program owners manual.

Entering Commands in Terminal Mode

In terminal mode, all commands must be terminated by a carriage return; commands are not processed until a carriage return is entered. While entering a command you may use the editing keys shown in Table 5-12.

Table 5-12: RS-232 Terminal Mode Editing Keys

Key

Function

CR (carriage return)

Execute command

 

 

BS (backspace)

Backspace one character to the left

 

 

ESC (escape)

Erase entire line

 

 

Commands are not case-sensitive; you should separate all command elements (i.e. keywords, data values, etc.) by spaces.

Words such as T, SET, LIST, etc. are called keywords and are shown on the help screen in uppercase, but they are not case-sensitive. You must type the entire keyword; abbreviations are not accepted.

NOTE

To open the help screen, Type "?" and press the Enter key.
