Read, Set Status Information Group 5--
Commands F & G
(F) Read Status Information. These commands will read certain status data from the Model 880. This
includes information such as whether the unit is stopped, what film is active, is the unit at max. power, etc.
This information is in a more condensed form then available through the I/O system. The command is the
letter F followed by a parameter number.
(G) Set Status Information. This forces certain status to occur in the Model 880. The group command
is the letter G followed by {1|2|3|17|21|22|23|24} = {0|1|2|3}. Note: 2,3 only allowed on G3 = form. There
are only 8 parameter options in this group.
Command: F
Mnemonic: EXCT_rstat (read status)
Parameters: [1..66] corresponding to system status types SKHLD..LAUNCHFNO
Description: Requests a read back of status information regarding the current operating
status of the instrument.
