7. Device Control Instructions

The Device Control instructions determine how communication between the PNC-3100 and the computer will be

handled using the RS-232C interface; and also are employed when relaying to the computer the status of the PNC-

3100. Some of them can be used to format the output for CAMM-GL I instructions.

A Device Control instruction is composed of three characters: ESC (1Bh), a ".", and an uppercase letter. There

are also two types of device control instructions: one carries parameters and the other does not.

Parameters can be omitted. Semicolons, " ; " are used as separators between parameters. A semicolon without

parameters means that parameters have been omitted. Device Control instructions with parameters require a

terminator to indicate the conclusion of the instruction. A colon " : " is used as the terminator, and it must not be

omitted.

No terminator is necessary for Device Control instructions without parameters.
