10.1.3 V71 RESET COMMAND
The entire M-Series unit can be reset by issuing a reset
command to the V71. The reset command consists of
the port select code ($BT - default) followed by "RESET"
and a terminating character of Carriage Return or Line
Feed. For example, if using the default port select
code, send $BTRESET <cr> to the V71 to reset the unit,
where <cr> is Carriage Return.
10.1.4 V71 TEST COMMAND
A host computer can verify communication with the V71
by sending the port select code ($BT - default), followed
by capital "T" and Carriage Return or Line Feed. The
V71 will respond with an "ACK" character (06 Hex). For
example, if using the default port select code, send
$BTT<cr> and the V71 will respond with "ACK" if there
is communications between the host terminal and the
V71.
10.2V71 BASIC OPERATION
Once the host computer has been cabled to the V71 and
the V71 configured for the desired parameters, the host
computer is ready to perform data acquisition and
control functions with the various I/O modules. Among
the functions you can perform are configuration and data
commands. Configuration commands are used to
program the features of the various I/O modules and
the data commands are typically used to request stored
data received from an I/O module. Data commands are
also used to instruct certain I/O modules to perform a
specific task (e.g., energize or de-energize a relay).
