again. Other terminal software should not exhibit this problem.
Testing with some legitimate commands:
Enter "SYS OPEN 555" [ENTER], and the COM3010 should connect.
Enter "SET GF 403.25M" [ENTER]; this will set the generator frequency to 403.25MHz.
Enter "SET GL –45dBm" [ENTER]; this will set the level to –45dBm
Now that you are finished, type "SYS CLOSE [ENTER]"
The COM3010 will reply with "Disconnecting, Bye." and will not respond until you issue an-
other "SYS OPEN 555" command.
All communications with the COM3010 are performed similarly using the commands listed.
You can also write up a text batch file and use the terminal software to send a batch file up to
4096 bytes in size which will allow for long scripts. There are delay functions to allow
measurements to settle or an automated test bench to get operations in place.
An example script used for automatic testing can be sent to the COM3010's serial port as a
text file.

The COM3010 serial interface is well-suited to allow for creating programs to control the
COM3010 in remote locations. A good environment to use is Visual Basic since a program can
be "whipped up" in very short order that will provide an easy interface to perform multiple
tasks in an automated fashion.
