Online commands
Online commands can be used to send commands directly to the device for control and configuration.
For this purpose, the device must be connected to a host- or service computer via the interface. The
commands described can be sent either via the host or the service interface.

With the commands, you can:
• control/decode.
• read/write/copy parameters.
• carry out an automatic configuration.
• teach-in/set reference codes.
• call up error messages.
• call up statistical device information.
• carry out a software reset in order to reinitialize the device.

capitalized letters can be used.
