NOTES:
(1) All commands terminated by carriage return CR,
except U and D. Commands ‘Cx’ and *Fxxxxxxx’ require
an optional Carriage Return as follows:
- If ‘Cx’ is followed by a Carriage Return, response is
immediate.
- If ‘Cxxx’ is entered, response is immediate (but note that
no Carriage Return was required in this case),
(2) These commands may be used during scanning.
Others are locked out.
(3) A null entry (carriage retum by itself) results in a LF
response.
Invalid commands result in a ‘Not recognized’ response.
(4) Format: RS-232C levels at rear panel connector.
9600 baud, half Duplex 1 start bit, 8 data, 1 stop bit, no
parity
Data Is ASCII encoded.
(5) These commands allowed even if power is turned off
(see PO/PF). Others are locked out.
(6) Backspace can be used to correct typing error before
hitting return.
(7) Commands Intended for use in computer control use
hexadecimal data.
(8) Causes a report from the receiver whenever any
receiver setting is changed.
(9) Report types may be entered in any combination for
customized reports.
*(10) Block Store might not work under PROCOMM
PLUS™. Use Windows™ Terminal program or Telix™ pro-
gram.
NOTE that PROCOMM PLUS™ might not work with the
Block Store command. There are two suggested
methods that will allow programming the Block Store
command:
1) WINDOWS™ Terminal Instructions -
The WINDOWS™ terminal can be used with the delay
per character set to 1/10 second to permit ASCIl
downloads to function properly with Block Store
commands.
Under the ‘Settings’ menu, select ‘Text Transfers’. Under
‘Flow Control’, select ‘A Character at a Time.
Under ‘Transfer a Character at at Time’, select ‘Delay
Between Characters | 1 |/10 second’.
RS232C Interface cont'd. %
ASCII downloads are performed by selecting the
‘Transfer’ menu and selecting the ‘Send Text File’.

C-ZrM™™IOWyD
Telix™ V.20 was demonstrated to work with the Block Store
command using the pacing character feature of Telix™,
The pacing character used is **’ (decimal 42). This action
prevents the receiver from being overrun with data from
Telix™,
The ASCII transfer setup parameter ‘E’ is set to 42, The
ASCIl transfer setup parameter *G’ is machine
dependent. The delay of ‘999’ represents the greatest
delay and therefore ensures proper operation.
CTS handshaking Is supported, but many PC programs
overrun the receiver’s RS232C buffer causing Block Store
operations to fail wnen the overrun conditions exist.
Block Store download files are created using editors
which support binary/hex editing modes or by using the
Block Read command to upload memory information
from the receiver.
