GSIOC Commands

There are two kinds of commands that you can
issue from the system controller to the detector.
• Buffered commands send instructions to the
detector. These commands are executed one at
a time.
• Immediate commands request status information
from the detector. These commands are executed
immediately, temporarily interrupting other
commands in progress.

FIFO Commands

Using GSIOC commands, you can request
compressed data that are stored in the detector's
FIFO memory buffers. These commands are useful
to programmers who want to capture detector data
for analysis. The FIFO commands are listed after
the GSIOC command list.

GSIOC Command List

In the command list on the following pages, the
GSIOC command must be entered in the proper
upper or lower case format. If a buffered command
requires additional information, you'll see italicized
text next to the command. The description of the
command identifies what you need to enter in
place of the italicized text.
When the detector executes a buffered command,
the detector returns "." (a period). The information
returned for an immediate command depends on
the command; refer to the following pages.
I=Immediate
B=Buffered
