B-6 Computer Control
Computer Control Command Set
A command from the computer to the reader consists of a single ASCII
character, and, in some cases, a supporting argument. Table B-3 describes
the supported computer control command set.
Command Function
A
Move the microplate carrier to its full-out position, then move inward into
