7 REMOTE CONTROL COMMANDS

The GV-998 has incorporated the same type of remote control that was
designed for the PROLINK-1 and 7. The transference procedure is based on protocols
XON-XOFF and ACK-NAK, through a RS-232C port series working at 19200 bauds, 8
bits, none parity and 1 stop bit.
On this structure, executive and interrogatory commands, are transmitted to
allow of changing the equipment configuration or operation or, to interrogate about its
state.
The commands are the base to implement the remote control of the equipment,
that allows so much the automatization of some processes, like the generation of
control application by the end user.
The equipment dispatches the received commands through the port series on
automatic mode, with no need any special type of action from the frontal panel. The
commands available are extended in each version, according to their necessity.
Some of the commands shall have introduced previously a password to
operate, since are destined to the instrument control during the manufacturing process
or the post-sale service. Others are generic and oriented to user applications.
At this moment, for firmware 2.12 version, the available commands are those
indicated in the following table:
