ASCII Control Functions

General

TM
In addition to the DS2480B/9097U emulation, The LINK devices also provide many 1-Wire®
TM
bus functions in response to ASCII commands. This allows the LINK devices to be used with
any terminal program or serial port communications API to perform iButton®, 1-Wire® or, in
some cases, extended mode bus functions without software drivers, making it easy to use. The
LINK™ device functions that can be performed have been coded for normal ASCII keys so that
all the basic 1-Wire® functions can be performed manually on the keyboard of a terminal
program or using programming languages that are limited to ASCII serial port I/O. As a rule,
these special commands consist of every command code that is not used in the DS2480B/9097U
emulation.

Case Sensitivity and Symbols

ASCII commands are case sensitive. Make sure to be aware of the case that the command
requires.
Please also be aware of the difference between a single quotation mark, also known as an
apostrophe, ( ' ) and an accent mark ( ` ). In some cases, an apostrophe may prompt a command,
but it will not be the same as the command an accent mark prompts.
