Instruction manual

“Interval Duration iiii” = “IDiiii” = Set Interval pointer to point at interval iiii, where
iiii is an integer from 0 to 65535. If iiii is omitted, the default duration is 0.
The Pointer is selected using the following syntax:
“Interval Pointer iiii” = “IPiiii” =
Set Interval pointer to point at interval iiii, where iiii is an integer from 0 to
1000.
“Program Interval” = “PI” =
Begin interval programming. This will begin programming the supply using
the values preloaded into the interval programming registers. The first
interval to be programmed is always zero (0). It is essential that the
correct operating modes (REMOTE, V, or I control) are preset, as the
interval will program the control channel regardless of the BOS/S operating
mode.
“? Model” = ?M = Place Model and Serial number in output buffer.
“? Program channel” = “?P” = Control DAC programming value (hex)
“? String” - “?S” = Previous command string
“? Interval iiii” = “?I iiii” = Interval iiii settings?
iiii = 0 to 1000
If iiii omitted then iiii = presently selected interval
These commands may be explicitly spelled out in the command string sent to the
BOS/S controller, but only those letters that are capitalized are actually needed. The
rest are ignored.
“?C” will put one of the following messages in the output buffer:
“V Control” or “V”
“I Control” or “I”
“?O” will put one of the following messages in the output buffer:
“L operation” or “L”
“R operation” or “R”
“?L+” will put one of the following messages in the output buffer”
“+Limit = xx”
“?L-” will put one of the following messages in the output buffer”
“-Limit = xx”
“?P” will put one of the following messages in the output buffer”
“Control = xxxx”
In the previous three examples “xx” and “xxxx” indicate hexadecimal values of 00 to ff
and 0000 to ffff respectively.
