ALGE-Timing Timy Manual page 5

Kommunikation mit dem PC per RS232
The MASTER-TIMY is the link between PC and the other TIMYS. There are 2 instruction
sets, one of the is backward compatible to the COMET-protocol, so that even existing PC-
programs can work with the TIMY data-stream. The TIMY replaces the COMET.
The new instruction set is more comprehensive but easier to use. If more than 10 TIMYS are
on the data-stream, it will automatically switch to the instruction set.
Old instruction set:
New instruction set:
All commands begin with „TER", enclosed is the 2-digit address of the TIMYS which will be
spoken to. „FF" responds to all TIMYS.
The real command:
If the data-stream is not configured yet, you can also give commands to the MASTER-TIMY,
which will build the data-stream. Afterwards the MASTER-TIMY will send the information to
the PC.
Example:
The MASTER-TIMY has always the index „0". In the square bracket is the index (internal
numbering), afterwards stands the outward visible number, following 1, if the TIMY is still in
the stream, otherwise 0 if he was removed. At the end you can find the 12-digits hardware-
serial number

Timy
See instruction set for COMET data-stream
Response of data-stream: „A 123456<cr>" data of TIMY 1
After the „A" will be 2 blanks.
Response of data-stream „01 123456<cr>" data of TIMY 1
After the „01" will be 2 blanks.
e.g. „TERFFER<cr>" reset all TIMYS
e.g. „TER04ER<cr>" reset TIMY 04 (simplification compared to the old
instruction set).
e.g. „TERLIST<cr>" sole exception: With this command you can get
the data of the data-stream of the MASTER
