XX
Label Only Devices - Continuous
—Causes the 2500 to continuously
label devices.
XX
represents the maximum parts needed to fill a receiving
tube. This is followed by a 2500 hex file.
After the command sequence is received, the 2500 begins labeling
immediately upon detecting devices at the input.
To invoke a new command, send a reset command “!” first.
Response: R11 (Sent after the hex file is received)

XXXX
Program and Label Devices
(1 to 9999 devices)—Causes the 2500 to label
devices with the same information provided by a previously sent
command @02.
XXXX
represents the number of devices to be
programmed/labeled. When the specified number of devices have been
labeled, the 2500 sends a R12 command and waits for another command.
You may send as many @12 commands as you want.
WARNING:A command @02 must have been sent previously or
random data is printed.
Response: R12 (Sent after the devices have been labeled)

XXYYZZZZ
Variable Label Mode
—This flexible command allows the remote
computer to control all aspects of the system.
XX
represents the
maximum number of devices to fill a receiving tube,
YY
is reserved for
future use and must be 00, and
ZZZZ
represents number of devices to be
programmed/labeled.
You can use this command to download a unique label for each device,
for example, when you want to label bad devices with a description of the
failure.
When the 2500 receives an @13
XXYYZZZZ
, it loads a device into the
programming module, sends a : (CRLF) to the remote computer, and
waits. The remote computer then takes over control of the programming
electronics and performs the required processes. When complete, the
remote computer sends a @14X and a hex file, allowing the 2500 to
continue labeling and binning the device.
The 2500 then loads another device into the programming module and
repeats the process until the specified number of devices are labeled.
While the 2500 is waiting for an @14X command, you may send an @10X
command to invoke transparent mode. This allows the remote computer
to communicate with the programming electronics attached to the 2500
port, thereby controlling the 2500 and the programming electronics with
one serial port.
Response 1:
Each time a device is loaded into the programming module a
: CR-LF is sent to the remote computer. The 2500 then waits for an @14
command.
Response 2:
R13 is sent after
ZZZZ
devices have been labeled. If labeling
is turned off using @08, all devices are counted.
