Serial Burst Mode Commands:
Burst mode allows a computer or ASCII terminal to control and interrogate the unit.
This section defines all burst mode commands. Each burst mode command starts
with an asterisk (“*”). Next is a single decimal digit that corresponds to the unit (ID)
address 0-7. Following that are one or more ASCII characters specifying the com-
mand. No carriage-return or line-feed is required to terminate the command except
for those few commands of variable length, if the maximum length is not sent. If
the command requested a response, the response will consist of an upper case “S”,
followed by the unit address, and then the specific response. If acknowledgements
are enabled, successful commands are responded to with “RRR” while errors get an
“EEE” response. The syntax of each command is given below. The syntax shows
the command exactly as it should be sent, except that lower case characters repre-
sent values that should be substituted:

Set-up Commands:
*uCEx
- Enable Error and Good Responses - Where x = Y to
enable and N = disable. In this mode, when a command is
sent that is in error, the unit will reply (possibly before
receiving the entire command) with “EEE.” If the command
is sent correctly, the unit will reply with “RRR.”
*CDEF
- Reset to factory defaults
*uCIIttt
- Set “PIP” Programmable Pulse Stretcher Input Duration =
ttt: 000 – 254
Off to 2.54 Seconds.
*uCLx
- Lock Front Panel if x is “L”. Unlock Front Panel if x is “U”
*uCNiiaaaaaaaaa
- Set name of input (up to 9 characters)
*uMM
- Enter menu mode, ONLY if unit ID = 0
*uMSxx
- Save current I/O configuration as Macro # xx (01 - 16).
*uMRxx
- Retrieve (invoke) macro # xx (01 - 16).
Real Time Control Commands:
*uDxx
-Delay xx seconds before processing next command.
*uZx
- Echo character “x” to serial control port. This is useful in
debugging command strings.
