SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS:

With the serial communications option installed, the model DP-7600 can easily be

interfaced to a computer, terminal, or printer. The unit can operate in stand-alone mode

or in networked applications. Both RS232 and RS485 serial communication options

are available for the DP-7600. The baud rate is user selectable, and can range from

300 to 38.4K baud. The unit uses a N,8,1 character data format (no parity, 8 data bits,

1 stop bit). All data is transmitted/received as ASCII characters. Characters strings are

transmitted/received with the leftmost character first and are terminated with a car-

riage return [CR]. Incoming linefeeds are ignored by the unit, and it is optional to

have the unit transmit them. Leading zeros are acceptable for numeric data transmitted

to the unit. Decimal points are ignored by the unit, and are transmitted, when required,

to conform with the selected display format.

Listed below are the available commands for the model DP-7600 (with the associated

command numbers). Following this is a discussion of how commands are interpreted

by the unit along with a brief description for each command.
