1.1 If You Have Been Using the AR-3000
The AR-200's command set, which employs RS-232C, is designed to be partly compatible with the
AR-3000. Since the AR-200S and AR-3000 are not functionally identical in every respect, some
functions cannot be used. For more information, check the included specifications.
1.2 If You Have Been Using the AR-2000
The AR-200S's command set, which employs RS-232C, is designed to be backwardly compatible
with the AR-2000. This means it is possible for you to continue using the control system you have
used with the AR-2000. However, since the AR-200S and AR-2000 are not functionally identical in
every respect, some functions cannot be used. For more information, check the included
specifications.
