4.15.2. Remote Operation Using the External Serial I/O
4.15.2.1. TERMINAL OPERATING MODES
The Model T360 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 or on the Teledyne 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 4-25.
