72 SETUP:AREAD:<setup no.>
Description:
This command reads the parameters of a given setup. As value you have to
enter its number.
All values relating to time, except “Falling” and “Rising”, are given in
1/10 ms (i.e. 10 ≙ 1 ms). Falling and rising are given in 1/100 ms (i.e. 100 ≙
1.00 ms).
Therefore, the minimum falling value amounts to 0.01 ms, the minimum
rising value is 0.01 ms. But the minimum values for Falling and Rising also
always depend on the current Needle Lift % (see paragraph 7.4 "
Minimum
and Maximum Parameter Limits", page 66).
Example:
Input:
SETUP:AREAD:1
Result:
Displays the parameters of the given setup.
Rising: 30 ≙ 0.3 ms (ms = Milliseconds)
Open Time: 10 ≙ 1.0 ms
Falling: 15 ≙ 0.15 ms
Needle Lift: 80 %
Number of Pulses: 20
Delay: 8 ≙ 0.8 ms
Return:
30,10,15,80,20,8
73 BAUDRATE:0/1/2/3/4
Description:
This command changes the baud rate of the serial interface. There are five
possible baud rates (9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200),
corresponding with the parameters in this order (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Important Note:
After reading the “OK”, the sender has to switch his baud rate as well;
otherwise, the communication will break down.
Example:
Input:
BAUDRATE:1
Result:
The baud rate is switched to 19200.
Return:
OK
74 GETTD GETTD = Get time and date
Description:
This command tells you the current time (UTC) and date in the format
“hour, minute, second, year, month, day”.
Example:
Input:
GETTD
Result:
The time (UTC) is given, including the date.
Return:
10,07,00,2019,02,17
or
No Clock (if the RTC of the MDC is defect)
75 MDC:RESTART
Description:
This command tells the MDC to shut down (without shutting down the
power) and then to restart.
Example:
Input:
MDC:RESTART
Result:
The MDC is shut down and then restarts.
Return:
OK
