• The standard Optomux protocol is not capable of returning the full
range of error and diagnostic features supported by FieldPoint
modules.
• If you are writing your own server, sending and receiving messages
directly using the serial port, you are highly encouraged to use the
extended FieldPoint command set as described in the
FP-1000/1001
Programmer Reference Manual
to get the most out of your
FieldPoint hardware. Examples of programs that directly access the
serial port to communicate with the FieldPoint network modules
are available on the National Instruments FTP site at
ftp.natinst.com/support/fieldpoint/Examples/.
