    ALPHA or NUMERIC mode. There is no need to set AMPS-1 to a particular mode for computer communications. The serial protocol used by AMPS-1 is 9600,N,8,1 (9600 baud; no parity; 8 data bits; 1 stop bit). Any serial communications program, such as Hyperterminal, that allows characters to be sent one at a time will work to send the control commands.

  • Page 88: Amps-1 Command Interface Specifications

    AMPS-1 has special requirements for remote control via RS-232. Characters sent to AMPS-1 by a controlling device must be separated by a delay of at least two-tenths of a second. In response to each character received by AMPS-1 via the RS-232 Port, AMPS- 1 will return a string of 22 characters to the sending device, which can be either accepted or discarded depending on the desired application.
