6.2.5.5 The C Instruction
The C Instruction will cause ES601Plus to transmit a remote control command to an external
device, such as a medical device analyzer or "tester", which ES601Plus expects to be connected to
the RS232 Tester Port (#1 through #6) specified in the AutoSequence or Test Procedure setup.
The C Instruction incorporates a command (data which will be transmitted to the external Tester),
and a prompt. The prompt is optional information which may be entered via the Instruction Editor
of the AutoSequence or Test Procedure plug-in, to help you remember what the command does
when you are creating Tester AutoSequences and Procedures.
When ES601Plus executes a C Instruction, it will transmit the command via the Tester Port
specified in the AutoSequence, and will wait for a response from the Tester. If a response is
received, ES601Plus will record "OK" as the test result for that step and will automatically continue
with the next step with no intervention from the user. If a response is not received from the Tester
after a 0.25 second timeout, ES601Plus will display the Instruction's prompt on the LCD and will
wait for the user to press one of the touch screen keys provided, as shown in Fig u re 76.
