‘S’ The TCIC returns a string containing actual 8 ‘switch on’
limits, each followed by a tab (0x09). The end of the string
is followed by CR/LF. Each value is padded to have a fixed
length of 8 characters, so the string has a fixed length of 72
characters (excluding the CR/LF).
“Switch Off” Limit
‘$a’ or ‘$b’ through ‘$h’
Sets the ‘switch off’ limit for the specified channel (1-8).
PC must send channel’s letter and a string representing a
floating point value in the range -2000.0 to +2000.0 followed
by CR.
E.g., to set ‘switch off’ limit for channel 3 to 145.2 the PC
would send “$c145.2” with CR. Note, the ‘c’ is the channel
selection.
If the string is accepted as valid the TCIC returns “OK” with
CR/LF and stores the value in its non-volatile memory.
Else the TCIC returns “ERR” with CR/LF and does not store
the value.
‘s’ The TCIC returns a string containing actual 8 ‘switch off’
limits, each followed by a tab (0x09). The end of the string
is followed by CR/LF. Each value is padded to have a fixed
length of 8 characters, so the string has a fixed length of 72
characters (excluding the CR/LF).
