Computer Communication; Determining The Available Commands - GE Optica Operator's Manual

Appendix G. Communicating with the OPTICA Using Ethernet
G.2 Computer Communication
The Optica communicates over port 28005. The general format for accessing the Optica is:
The command set of the Optica is broken into two categories: Those used to set parameters and those used to retrieve
parameters from the Optica. Commands that are used to retrieve information from the Optica are preceded with the
prefix Get, and those that are used to set parameters at the Optica are preceded with the prefix Set. Only the commands
that enable the user to retrieve information from the Optica are detailed in this document. The examples below assume
that a web browser is being used.
G.2.1 Determining the Available Commands
The available commands can be determined by entering the line below in the address line of the browser. This
command returns a list of API commands supported by the Optica.
