Description
Since each interface has a unique watchdog
timer, the value reported is the value of the
watchdog timer associated with that specific
interface.
Send 1 data byte with a value of zero.
Returns 2 data bytes.
• Bytes 0 and 1 = Watchdog timer value in
ms (16-bit value).
Set this value with command 39.
Reports the current host port time-out value
for the serial port.
Host port time-out value is the maximum time
allowed between bytes received. This value is
in units of 10 ms. The allowable range of
values is from 2 to 500, representing 20 ms to
5.00 seconds.
Returns 2 data bytes (16-bit value):
• Bytes 0 and 1 = Host port time-out value.
Set this value with command 40.
Reports the minimum frequency that the
generator uses for automatic tuning. The
minimum tuning frequency must be within the
unit's factory-set frequency range. The unit
stores this parameter in nonvolatile memory.
Send 0 data bytes to return frequency in kHz,
or send 1 data byte to return frequency in kHz
or Hz.
Send 0 data bytes:
• Returns 4 data bytes = Frequency in kHz
Send 1 data byte:
• Byte 0 = Frequency in kHz or Hz
◦ 0 = Returns frequency in kHz
◦ 1 = Returns frequency in Hz
Returns 4 data bytes = Frequency in kHz or
Hz
