6.12.2. Remote Operation Using the External Serial I/O
6.12.2.1. Terminal Operating Modes
The Model 6200E can be remotely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data through the
serial ports. As terminals and computers use different communication schemes, the analyzer
supports two communicate modes specifically designed to interface with these two types of
devices.
• Computer mode is used when the analyzer is connected to a computer with a
dedicated interface program such as APICOM. More information regarding APICOM
can be found in later in this section or on the Teledyne Analytical Instruments
website at http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/.
• Interactive mode is used with a terminal emulation programs such as
HyperTerminal or a “dumb” computer terminal. The commands that are used to
operate the analyzer in this mode are listed in Table 6-24.

Table 6-24: Terminal Mode Software Commands
COMMAND Function
Control-T
Switches the analyzer to terminal mode (echo, edit). If mode flags 1 & 2 are OFF,
the interface can be used in interactive mode with a terminal emulation program.
Control-C Switches the analyzer to computer mode (no echo, no edit).
CR
(carriage return) A carriage return is required after each command line is typed into the
terminal/computer. The command will not be sent to the analyzer to be executed
until this is done. On personal computers, this is achieved by pressing the ENTER
key.
BS
(backspace) Erases one character to the left of the cursor location.
ESC
(escape) Erases the entire command line.
? [ID] CR This command prints a complete list of available commands along with the
definitions of their functionality to the display device of the terminal or computer
being used. The ID number of the analyzer is only necessary if multiple analyzers
are on the same communications line, such as the multi-drop setup.
Control-C Pauses the listing of commands.
Control-P Restarts the listing of commands.
