IM 04L51B01-17EN
You can control the recorder by sending commands from a PC over an Ethernet network.
There are various types of commands: setting commands, output commands, operation
commands, communication control commands, and instrument information output
commands.
Recorder Configuration
Configure the recorder to connect to the Ethernet network that you want to use. For
instructions on how to configure the recorder, see section 1.17, "Configuring the Ethernet
Communication Function" in the Model GX10/GX20/GP10/GP20 Paperless Recorder User's
Manual (IM 04L51B01-01EN) or section 2.18, "Configuring the Ethernet Communication
Function," in the Data Acquisition System GM User's Manual (IM 04L55B01-01EN).
PC
The PC that you will use must meet the following requirements.
• The PC is connected to the Ethernet network that you want to use.
• The PC can run programs that you have created (see section 1.1.2, "Sending Commands
and Receiving Responses," below).
Programs
When you send a command to the recorder, it will return a response. You can control the
recorder by writing a program that sends commands and processes responses and then
executing the program. You need to create the programs.
Example: If you send the command "FData,0,0001,0020" from your PC to the recorder, the
recorder will return the most recent data of channels 0001 to 0020 in ASCII code.
For details on commands and responses, see chapter 2, "Commands and Responses."
