19.8 SimpleComm Examples

The following examples use screenshots to demonstrate Synergy Controller command and response with
the free SimpleComm application available at www.Tidaleng.com/download.htm. See
detailed instructions for SimpleComm.
Example 1
This example demonstrates the "? C1" command which is used to query chamber temperature.
To setup this example we performed the following steps.
1. Connect the Synergy Controller to the Local Area Network (LAN) with an RJ-45 network cable.
2. Obtain the IP address of the Synergy Controller from the COMM/Ethernet Folder.
3. Enable the Synergy Controller's TCP/IP server from the COMM/TCP\IP Server folder.
4. Enter the address of the controller (From step 2) into the SimpleComm Address field and press
Connect Button.
5. Enter "? C1" in the Command field. Note the space between "?" and "C1".
Press the Send button and note the temperature in Response field.
Note: The response is in the current units of measure for the controller.
Example 2
This example demonstrates the Synergy Controller temperature setpoint command.
To setup this example we connected to the chamber as we did in Example 1, then performed the following
steps.
1. Type "= SP1 23.7" in the Command field. Note the space between "=" and "SP1" and between "SP1"
and "23.7" and don't type the quotes.
Press the Send button and note the OK in Response field. The controller responds with OK when the
command is accepted.
