The EDP (electronic data processing) port lets you control the IQ plus
800/810 from a remote keyboard or personal computer. You can transfer
configuration data directly between two IQ plus 800/810 indicators. By
using special commands from the keyboard, you can simulate front panel
key press functions, call up current settings for setup parameters, and
perform reporting functions. Also, you can use special commands to
transmit weight data directly from the EDP port on demand.
An optional computer software program, called Hotline™, makes it easy to
save, change, and transfer configuration data, including setpoints for batch
processing. (See Using Hotline™ on page 6-13 for more information.)
When you send a command via the EDP port, the command must be in the
specific format as shown on the following pages. Generally, you type the
command on the remote keyboard and press ENTER or RETURN to send
it. However, if you use a communications program such as Hotline™, you
can set up multiple commands, then send (download) them all at once.
EDP serial commands can be divided into five different categories: key
press commands, reporting commands, special function commands, param-
eter setting commands, and transmit weight data commands.
KEY PRESS COMMANDS
Key press serial commands (Table 6-1) simulate pressing the keys on the
front panel of the indicator. They can be used in both the Setup Mode and
the Operating Mode. Several of the commands simulate "pseudo" keys,
meaning that they provide a function that is not represented by a key on the
front panel.
