Overview of commands and parameters

Online commands can be used to send commands directly to the device for control and
configuration. For this, the BCL 8 has to be connected to computer (host) via the serial inter-
face.
For information on the transmission protocol, please see Chapter 7.3.2.
Using the online commands you can:
• control/decode the reading gate.
• read/write/copy parameters.
• carry out an automatic configuration.
• teach/set a reference code.
• call up error messages.
• call up statistical device information.
• carry out a software reset in order to reinitialize the device.
Syntax
Online commands consist of one or two ASCII characters followed by command parame-
ters.
No separation characters may be entered between the command and the command param-
eter(s). Both small and capitalized letters can be used.
