Command Descriptions
This section describes commands and provides sample outputs.
See Appendix III: Command Summary for a summarized command list.
When entering commands:
• Input commands to the FastCAT in upper or lower case letters and
register commands by pressing the Enter key.
• The FastCAT sends ?CMD if an invalid command is entered.
• If the system does not return an S> prompt after executing a command,
press the Enter key to get the S> prompt.
• Establish communications by pressing Connect on the Toolbar or the
Enter key to get an S> prompt.
• If the FastCAT is transmitting data and you want to stop it, send Stop,
click Stop on the Toolbar, or type Ctrl Z. Press the Enter key to get the
S> prompt.
• The FastCAT responds only to DS, DCal, and Stop while sampling. If
you interrupt the FastCAT while it is sampling (for example, to send DS),
it will temporarily stop sampling. Sampling resumes after it responds to
the command.
Entries made with the commands are permanently stored in the FastCAT and
remain in effect until you change them.
