SCAN TRIGGER
TRIG or <tab>
None
This command acts as a software trigger to the DSA. When XSCANTRIG is set to 1, an aver-
aged frame of data will be output when the DSA-PTP receives the TRIG command or a <TAB>
character code (9 HEX or Control I). This will continue until a STOP command is issued or the
Frames Per Scan (FPS) variable is met. The data format will depend upon the setting of EU,
BIN and FORMAT.
A scan command is executed with EU set to 1, BIN set to 0, XSCANTRIG set to 1, and FORMAT
set to 0. The DSA-PTP will wait for a Hardware trigger, the TRIG command or a <TAB> charac-
ter (9 HEX or Control I). When one of the Data are scrolled and will be displayed as follows:
Frame # <number>
Time <time> <µs or ms>
<chan> <temp eu>
" "
" "
<chan> <temp eu>
For information on other formats, refer to the SCAN command .
SET
SET <name> <value>
<name> - the Configuration Variable to be set or modified.
<value> - the value of that Configuration Variable
Commands the DSA-PTP to set one of the many Configuration Variables. Configuration Vari-
ables are described in a subsequent section.
NOTE: Listing the Configuration Variables with the LIST command outputs the data in the
format required by the SET command. This enables the user to upload data from a file that
has been created by a LIST download.
<nl>
<nl> - End of line.
To change the variable Frames Per Scan (FPS) from 10 to 5, type:
SET FPS 5 <CR>
To change the variable Time (TIME) from off (0) to on (1), type:
SET TIME 1 <CR>
STATUS
STATUS
None
Commands the DSA-PTP to send a Status Packet to the client. The Status Packet is described
in a subsequent section. The STATUS command may be entered at any time. This is one of
the commands that will not generate an error if entered while the DSA-PTP is not READY.
