Read, Write Film Parameters Group 2--
Commands A & B
(A) Read film parameters. These commands are used to read all of the film parameters. The group
command is the letter A followed by the film number, which can be from 1 through 99, followed
by a parameter number. Either a comma or white space needs to separate the arguments. Each
film parameter has a number associated with it.
(B) Write film parameters. These commands are used to set the film parameters of the Model 880. Its
format is similar to the read commands above. The command is the letter B followed by the film
number (1 through 99), the film parameter number, the character =, and the data value (as
returned with a matching A query).
Command: A
Mnemonic: EXCT_rdfp (read film parameters)
Parameters: [1..99] [delimiter] [1 .. 46]
corresponding to film # 1..99 and parameter types DENS .. FRATDR .
Description: Requests a read back from the selected film of the selected parameter value. See the
list of parameters and the corresponding ID code below.
Returns:
[RZCD_AOK][param_value]
if proper film # (1..99) and parameter id were sent. Exact format of [param_value]
depends on the particular parameter for which the data was requested.
[RZCD_ILDV] (H or I) if improper value for parameter arguments.
[RZCD_ILSN] (J or K) if too many arguments, wrong delimiters, etc.

Command: B
Mnemonic: EXCT_wrfp (write film parameters)
Parameters: [1..99] [delimiter] [1 .. 46] [assign_delim] [desired_value] corresponding to film # 1..99
and parameter types DENS .. FRATDR as in A command above. The assign_delim is zero or
more spaces preceding the '=' sign followed by zero or more spaces. The desired_value is a
numeric data item of proper range and representation (# of decimals points, etc..) used to
update or change the value of the parameter to. This value is expressed in the same manner
as returned to the host when an A type command is issued. Therefore the data return from
an 'A [FILM#] [PARAM#]' query command can be appended to a 'B [FILM#] [PARAM#]
=' command, forming a legal B command which will download the same value to a
parameter as was uploaded with the 'A' command. This makes it easy to save and restore the
Model 880 instrument's parameters via a host computer.
Description: Command to set or store a new parameter value into one of the film programs.
Returns:
[RZCD_AOK] (A or B) if correctly processed.
[RZCD_ILDV] (H or I) if film #, parameter #, or new value is of improper value.
[RZCD_ILSN] if too many arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..
