To USC-2
Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The general form to send data to the USC-2 is as follows:

<Command> [<Space> <Par1><Space><Par2><Space>...<ParN> ] <END>

<Command> is an ASCII based command as described in this manual. All commands are not case sensitive.
<Space> are 1 or more ASCII characters ASCII (0x20).
<Par1> to <ParN> are ASCII based parameters 1 to N. The number of parameters depends on the command.

<END> are the end of command control characters, which depend on the interface and the communication mode.

Each command has a response by the USC-2 – please refer to section "Commands From USC-2". It is not allowed to send a new command, as long there is no response from a previous command. Appropriate time out loops must be implemented. Please refer to the specific commands for more details on typical response times. Unless otherwise stated, response times are in the order of a few ms after the <END> is sent until the first character is returned.

Example:

JN 1<END>

Selects the job with number 1

JN<END>

Returns the currently selected job number

note

A command followed by "--HELP" as parameter Par1 returns a short help to the specified command. A parameter in brackets, e.g. [<par1>] is optional.

Example:

M --HELP<CR>

0: M [<par1>]: mark; 0 (stop), 1 (start)
