220 ATOMLAB 500 DOSE CALIBRATOR
BAUD #
Sets the baud rate of this serial port, where 1 = 19.2k baud, 2 = 38k baud, 3= 56k baud, and 4 =
115 baud.
BEEP ###
Issues a beep tone on the display for “###” milliseconds. If not specified, it defaults to 100.
longest beep sounded can be for 10 seconds.
BKGND {#}
Where # = 1..7 (Detector #) (For a Dose Calibrator Only) this command will do a Zero Background
on the specified detector number. If no parameter is given, it will use detector #1. If the command
cannot be performed, one of the following errors will be returned:
ERROR: Cannot Display Zero Background {a “modal” screen is being viewed, blocking the view of
Zero Background}
ERROR: Invalid Detector Number
{the detector # specified cannot be found, or is not available}
If the command succeeds, it may be done instantly, taking effect on the very next activity reading,
or may take up to 100 readings. If the Zero Background does not happen instantly, each reading
from that detector will be preceded by:
~ Calculating background…
{Followed by CR/LF}
When this command is received, the Zero Background screen will be displayed for that detector.
However if there is a “modal” style screen displayed, our GUI package will not allow another
screen to pop up over it, so in this case, we will return an error. There are not many modal
screens, but examples are the QWERTY keyboard screen, the numeric keypad screen, Select
Sealed Source, Select Detector, Set Date/Time, etc.
CAPSCR {0/1}
Captures the screen to the local hard disk (=0), or to a USB Flash drive (=1). This operation
takes a snap shot of the current display screen and captures it to a BMP file. It may take a few
seconds to complete. If no parameter is given, it defaults to 0 (local hard disk).
CHROMA ((For a Dose Calibrator Only)
Request the readings of the last performed Tec-Control Chromatography test (the last valid
complete set of readings). There must be at least 2 readings performed, with only 2 readings
(sections 1 and 2, or 3 and 4) or 4 readings (sections 1 to 4) being reported. Following is an
example of what is returned:
