MPS450
Operators Manual
The MPS450 executes a command upon a carriage return and/or a line feed.
Alphabetic characters in commands are case-insensitive.
When entering commands, the BACKSPACE key operates normally (that is, deletes the
previously recorded character).
When entering commands, the ESCAPE key discards the entire command.
When a command is completed, a message is sent back (usually "OK").

Using Remote Entry to Operate In Numeric-Control Mode

In addition to using remote commands to set up wave parameters, one specific remote-
entry command can be used to operate the MPS450 in the numeric-control mode from a
peripheral device:
For example, entering the remote command
tachycardia—just as if the MPS450 was being operated in the numeric-control mode, the
number keys 017 were pressed on the MPS450 keypad, and RUN was selected.
A list of numeric-control codes—cross-referenced both to actions and to remote-entry
commands—is available in the "Codes and Actions" section later in this chapter.

General Remote Commands

The general remote commands are listed in Table 4-2:

Error Messages

Invalid commands return error messages, including the following:

Codes and Actions

This section lists the code numbers for controlling MPS450 actions, including both
numeric-mode and remote-control-entry codes. (See the Table of Contents for this
chapter to locate a specific action.)
The code numbers used in the numeric-control mode range from 000 to 420, with most of
the numbers from 0 through 247 matching the numbers used previously by the
4-4
