Description

Get the state of the XY2-100 head status of the selected head as decimal number.

<HeadNumber>

Value: <int>

Function

0

Get the statistics of head 0.

1

Get the statistics of head 1.

<Channel>

Example

Command

Return

Note

GHS 0 0

0: 196608

Get head 0 state.

Notes

•This command corresponds to the bits, which can be seen in the InfoView. Here you get a 20bit word, which depends on the connected scan head. This 20bit word needs to be interpreted by the user by the help of the manual of the scan head.

•For USC-3 and USC-4, the values displayed in the InfoView are shifted 12 bits to the left compared to USC-2. The underlying content is identical; only the bit position differs.

Description

Get information on the trigger count. The trigger counter counts the external triggers signals in trigger mode (ET 1, M 1; FlashJobIOSelect mode). The trigger count is reset with M 1 or with loading of a new job in FlashJobIOSelect mode.

Example

Command

Return

Note

GTC

0: 5

5 external trigger signals have been detected since the last reset.

M 1

0:

Reset the trigger count.

GTC

0: 0

No external triggers signal has been detected since the last reset (M 1).

Notes

•The trigger count is available during marking.

•During an active marking process, a new trigger signal is not recognized.

•Maximum is , will reset when maximum is reached.

Description

Retrieves information about the duration of the last marking operation (in ms), the ratio between process time and marking time (useful when working in trigger mode), and the total time information array.

<InfoType>

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Not available. This parameter is obligatory.

0

Get the duration of the last marking, in ms.

1

Get the ration between the next-to-last process time and the last marking time.
The process time is the time between the start of the next-to-last marking and the start of the last marking. The marking time is the duration between the start and end of a marking.

When working in trigger mode, GTI 1 specifically gets the ratio between the marking time and the time between two trigger signals.

2

Get the total time info array. This can be helpful for debugging.

Example

Command

Return

Note

GTI 0

0: 21.14

Get mark time: 21.14 milliseconds.

GTI 1

0: #

Get ratio # of marking time and between trigger time.

GTI

2:

Too few parameters. GTI needs <Par1>.

Description

Return the statistics of all jobs which are stored on the flash memory of the USC card.
Available information: the firmware version on the card, the size of each job stored on the flash, the number of serial numbers in each job, the UNF-Version, the name of each job.
Using Parameter2, additional information on the serial numbers within each job are available (ID, name, format, mode and text string).

<JN>

[optional]

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Get the statistics of all jobs on the flash.

JobNumber

[1; 255]

Get the statistics of the job <JN>.

<InfoType>

[optional]

Value: <string>

Function

empty

Without parameter 2 and parameter 3, the flash statistics are returned - see explanation of parameter JN.

ID

Get the IDs and the names of all serial numbers of the job (does not allow parameter 3).

NA

Get the name of the specified serial number (needs parameter 3).

FO

Get the format string of the specified serial number (needs parameter 3).

MO

Get the mode of the specified serial number (needs parameter 3).

STR

Get the text string of the specified serial number (needs parameter 3).

DC

Get the timestamp (UTC) for the date created of the specified job number. (USC-3/-4 only)

<SN>
