CHAPTER 10 MINI-PAM OPERATION VIA PC-TERMINAL
which may be followed by further specifications. Any command is
executed via 'Return'.
The following examples may serve to illustrate the principle of
MINI-PAM TERMINAL operation:
• Enter 'bp' and the MINI-PAM will answer with a beep after
'Return' (which is always required and from here onward will not
be mentioned anymore).
• 'a1' will switch on actinic light, which will be switched off again
by 'a0'.
• 's' starts a saturation pulse
• with 'f' and 'fmp' the values of the fluorescence parameters F and
Fm', as measured with the last saturation pulse, can be called on
display.
In this way, it is possible to carry out all MINI-PAM functions by
remote control from a PC terminal and to transfer information from
the MINI-PAM to a PC. In principle, using the TERMINAL-program
also a network of MINI-PAM Fluorometers can be operated.
