10.2 Configuration with command strings
As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the MSC800 can also be
configured and operated with command strings via all data interfaces.
Both the command strings and the SOPAS-ET configuration software are based on a
command language that has direct access to the MSC800 command interpreter. This
command language must be used with care, as the commands sent to the MSC800 are
carried out immediately. Parameter values altered by commands are initially only active in
the current parameter set in the working memory (RAM) of the MSC800. For permanent
storage, the altered parameter set must be copied with a special command into the Flash-
PROM so that the changes are not lost when the supply voltage is switched off.
• Command strings upon request.
