6.11.1. Basic Operation

6.11.1.1. Terminal Operating Modes

The Model 100E can be remotely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data
through the serial ports. As terminals and computers use different communication
schemes, the analyzer supports two communicate modes specifically designed to
interface with these two types of devices.
• Computer mode is used when the analyzer is connected to a computer
with a dedicated interface program such as APICOM. More information
regarding APICOM can be found in later in this section or on the T-API
website at http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/.
• Interactive mode is used with a terminal emulation programs such as
HyperTerminal or a "dumb" computer terminal. The commands that are
used to operate the analyzer in this mode are listed in Table 6-22.

Function
Switches the analyzer to terminal mode (echo, edit). If mode flags 1 & 2 are OFF,
the interface can be used in interactive mode with a terminal emulation program.
Switches the analyzer to computer mode (no echo, no edit).
A carriage return is required after each command line is typed into the
terminal/computer. The command will not be sent to the analyzer to be executed
until this is done. On personal computers, this is achieved by pressing the ENTER
key.
Erases one character to the left of the cursor location.
Erases the entire command line.
This command prints a complete list of available commands along with the
definitions of their functionality to the display device of the terminal or computer
being used. The ID number of the analyzer is only necessary if multiple analyzers
are on the same communications line, such as the multi-drop setup.
Pauses the listing of commands.
Restarts the listing of commands.
