), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters). Scaler-Initiated Messages When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the IN1606 scaler responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host.
Error Responses When the IN1606 receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command, it returns an error response to the host.
The Command and Response tables for SIS commands later in this section lists the commands that the IN1606 recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to the host, a description of the command’s function or the results of executing the command, and select examples of commands in ASCII (Telnet) and URL encoded (web).
