10.3 Control System Commands
The Channel Master uses the following commands to control certain system
parameters.
10.3.1 Standard Control System Commands
This section lists the most often used Control System commands.
CB – Serial Port Control
Purpose Sets the RS-232/422 serial port communications parameters
(Baud Rate/Parity/Stop Bits).
Format CBnnn
Range nnn = baud rate, parity, stop bits (see description)
Default CB411
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is
recommended for most applications.
Description The Channel Master and your external device (dumb terminal,
computer software) MUST use the same communication pa-
rameters to talk to each other. After you enter valid CB pa-
rameters, the Channel Master responds with a “>” prompt.
You may now change the external device’s communication
parameters to match the Channel Master parameters before
sending another command.
Table 8: Serial Port Control
Baud Rate Parity Stop Bits
1 = 1200 1 = None (Default) 1 = 1 Bit (Default)
2 = 2400 2 = Even 2 = 2 Bits
3 = 4800 3 = Odd
4 = 9600 (Default) 4 = Low (Space)
5 = 19200 5 = High (Mark)
6 = 38400
7 = 57600
8 = 115200
Setting The Baud Rate In The Channel Master. The Channel Master can be
set to communicate at baud rates from 300 to 115200. The factory default
baud rate is always 9600 baud. The baud rate is controlled via the CB-
command. The following procedure explains how to set the baud rate and
