USER'S GUIDE
6.1.
Introduction
Chapter 6 explains and illustrates all the PK-232's commands. You'll use certain commands
to affect the PK-232's performance under specific conditions, and other s to specify the val-
ues of parameters used during the PK-232's general operation.
Your PK-232 is a "command-driven" system, that is, a system that does not use "menus".
You control the functions of the PK-232 by typing single- or multiple-character commands at
your computer's keyboard.
6.1.1.
Entering Commands
Commands are entered after the Command Mode prompt:
cmd:
You'll use English-like words or abbreviations to change the value of parameters and issue
instructions to the PK-232.
o
Commands are either keywords or mnemonics (special abbreviations that jog your
memory) made up of strings of characters that you type.
You'll may not change the values of some parameters; however, you have maximum flexi-
bility to adapt the PK-232 to your local environment and operating conditions.
o
Use either upper case (capital letters) or lower case (small letters) when entering
commands.
o
End the command with a carriage return <CR>. Carriage returns are not shown in
the examples below.
o
Correct your typing mistakes or cancel the line completely before you type the final
<CR> of your command.
o
See chapter 3 for a discussion of line editing.
We'll use UPPER CASE throughout this chapter to show you the commands, and lower
case to explain the text.
6.1.2.
Command Responses
Whenever the PK-232 accepts a command that changes a value, the PK-232 responds
with the previously stored value. For example, assume that XFLOW is ON and you type
XFLOW OFF
This message tells you that the value has been changed successfully.
