Storage

Query Commands

Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.

Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of
commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage field
of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used
because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the sub-
set of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data field
should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the spe-
cific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the
Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the sequence.
If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new command
sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the
additional command are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag
field, the command is separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
180
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the com-
mand is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command's
operation on the device's volatile menu configuration table. A period
(.) performs the command's operation on the device's non-volatile
menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-
permanent changes you want saved through a power cycle.
What is the default value for the setting(s).
What is the device's current value for the setting(s).
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device's
response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A
pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)
