2.9.2 Command Structure

There is an extensive user help menu available to the user and a separate

software command reference manual. The basic format for all the

commands is:

<Primary-Command> <Secondary-Command> = <setting>

All commands are made up of this generic format; in some cases, there is no

setting or secondary command. The command set is basically a tree

diagram, where typing in the primary (and optionally secondary) command

with the setting result in a change in the module’s operational parameters.

All input is case-insensitive for commands. For example:

set laser 1 = on

This command would turn the laser #1 on at the present potentiometer

setting stored in memory.

2.9.3 Remote Alarm Disabling

From the factory, the Hub is programmed to alarm any time a Remote is

disconnected from the Hub. This safety feature is designed to indicate such

catastrophic events as the fiber to the Remote being cut. For a Hub that

does not use all four channels, the unused channels will report an alarm by

default. These are false alarms and it will be necessary for the user to

disable these unused channels to clear the alarms.

The command to disable the unused channels is:

2>set fiber <n> = disabled

Where n corresponds to the desired channel. In the event that the wrong

channel is inadvertently disabled or a remote is added at a later time the

disable channel should be enabled using the following command.

2>set fiber <n> = on
