Ethernet TCP/IP Interface
The IP address of the laser will be shown on the front panel of the laser. Touching the screen where the
address is shown will bring up the network setup menu where the network settings can be changed. The
laser will listen for connections on port 10001. The command must be sent as a single string in a single
packet. The individual commands are described in the “Interface Commands” section of the manual.

Interface Commands
All commands and responses will consist of printable ASCII characters. Commands are typically three or
four letter mnemonic codes followed by a parameter, if required.
All commands and responses will be terminated with a <Carriage Return> (CR, 0x0D, \r) character If a
CR terminated string is received, but no valid command is found, a response of “BCMD” will be sent.
The commands are shown here as all uppercase for clarity; the actual commands are not case sensitive.
A space character is also shown between the command and parameter for clarity. The space is not
required.
