SELECTING A DEVICE
There are two methods of selecting a device,
menu driven selection and ASCII character
string method.
Menu Driven
From the main menu, select the number that
Selection
corresponds to the device you wish to
access, followed by <cr>. To return to the
main menu, send the attention character five
times (;;;;;).
ASCII Character
Another method of selecting devices and
String
operating the DS-RPC is the ASCII
character string method. To select a device
located on a peripheral module port, send
the port select code
(default is $BT),
the
module number, a comma, and then the port
number, followed by <cr> (there are no
spaces in the string). For example, to select
port 4 located on module 2, type BT2,4<cr>.
To select port 1 on module 9 (DS9 model),
type $BT9,1<cr>. To disconnect, type
$BT<cr>, then the attention character.
To configure a module, type $BT and the
module number followed by <cr>, then
$CONFIG followed by <cr>. This will allow
access to the configuration menu for that
module. Once configuration is complete,
type X for “Exit” followed by <cr>. To
access the main menu, type the attention
character five times.
NOTE:
You must exit main menu to send ASCII character string
commands.
NOTE:
While operating using the ASCII Character String method,
consider placing the DS-RPC in binary mode.
