GPROGSEQ This command returns the complete program sequence stored in
the EEPROM GPROGSEQ[CR]
Operating/Interfacing with the Optical Multiplexer
The software needs to execute the following steps:
1. Read the complete program out of the EEPROM in the multiplexer
2. Extract the Serial number of the MPM-2000
3. Extract the position for each channel out of the file and save them for example in an array
4. Set the position for any of the channels
The program can be read with the GPROGSEQ command. It will look like the sample program. Only the
software version, the serial number and the positions will change with each device.
Check for an MPM-2000 by looking for the serial number as follows:
MPM-2000 1x16: 03918XXXX
MPM-2000 2x8: 05046XXXX
Where XXXX = a running serial number
The positions are stored in the file as follows:
CH01-500 Channel 1, absolute position –500
CH133000 Channel 13, absolute position 3000
Once the positions are extracted and stored you can set the position of the motor with the command
sequence:
LAPosition[CR]
M[CR]
