Section 7. COMMAND LANGUAGE
CAUTION
The “B” and “F” commands described in this section will affect the way responses appear on
your PC terminal. Do not invoke either of these commands unless your application requires it;
you could inadvertently change something that might affect system performance, and not
know about it.
If you accidently invoke the “B” command, simply invoke the “F” command. This will cancel
out the “B” command, and return the RFL 9660 to the long-form response format.
This section describes two additional commands that do not appear on the RFL 9660’s “help” screens. These
commands control the language the RFL 9660 uses to send responses to a user’s screen.
B - SHORT FORM RESPONSE
The “B” command selects the “short form” language that sends two-character ASCII codes.
This is a high-level command language used with some programs. It also can be used for
automation programs written by the user.
Format: B [ENTER]
Table 7-1 is an alphabetical list of all the short-form responses and their long-form equivalents.
F - VERBOSE ASCII
The “F” command selects the “long-form” language, or verbose ASCII (meaningful words and
phrases).
Format: F [ENTER]
The long form is used in most applications and is the factory default setting. Unless you
are using a program that requires the short form, use the long form. The Windows
program will automatically switch the RFL 9660 to the short form, so you don’t have to
do it manually.
Table 7-2 is an alphabetical list of all long-form responses and their short-form
equivalents.
