4-3. RESULTS RECEPTION
There are three commands for receiving reports from the analyzer:
R........
Reception of next available report
L.........
Reception of the last report sent (in case of reception problems)
A........
Reception of the first available report (in case one desires to receive again all
the reports)
The commands R, L, and A require standard communication or the procedure STX<-
>ACK and the character EOT to end communication.
As a response to one of these three commands the analyzer sends the requested report
(if available) or the character NAK (0x15) if there is no report to be sent.
It must be borne in mind that after a run test the reports are not immediately available for
transmission, as these need validation. To do this go to Utility menu, RS232 and enable
the option "Accept result to be sent". This operation must always be performed after each
run test or groups of run test.
There is also an additional option for performing validation operation automatically. Go to
Setup of the analyzer (Menu Utility, Setup Analyzer), go to the Serial (fourth from the left)
and enable the option "All results must be sent automatically (without validate)" at the
bottom of the page.
In case of positive response to the request for a report the analyzer transmits:
