8.1.7.TERMINAL OPERATING MODES

The M300E/EM can be remotely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data through the serial ports. As terminals and computers use different communication schemes, the analyzer supports two communicate modes specifically designed to interface with these two types of devices.

∙The COMPUTER MODE is used when the analyzer is connected to a computer with a dedicated interface program.

∙The INTERACTIVE MODE is used with a terminal emulation programs such as HyperTerminal or a “dumb” computer terminal. The commands that are used to operate the analyzer in this mode are listed in Table 8-2.

	mode with a terminal emulation program.
Control-C	Switches the analyzer to computer mode
	(no echo, no edit).
CR	A carriage return is required after each

	multi-drop setup.
Control-C	Pauses the listing of commands.
