RS-232 Port The DMP 128 Plus has a serial port that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running either the DataViewer or HyperTerminal utilities. The port makes serial control of the DMP 128 Plus possible.
USB Config Port The DMP 128 Plus has a front panel USB port that can be connected to a computer as a host device running either the HyperTerminal or DataViewer utilities for control of the device. Once a connection is established, SIS programming can begin (see...
• If the DMP 128 Plus is off and RS-232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to the DMP 128 Plus and a serial communication program such as DataViewer is open), the connected unit sends these messages via RS-232 when first powered on.
SIS commands consist of a string (one or more characters per command field). No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the DMP 128 Plus determines a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
Error Responses When the DMP 128 Plus is unable to execute the command, it returns an error response to the host. The error response codes and their descriptions are as follows: E10 — Unrecognized command E24 — Privilege violation E12 —...
