ANSI X3.28 "=" Command Example
The "=" Command sets a specific 942 parameter to a specific value. The
general command syntax applies to all commands. The definition and number
of arguments depends on the command itself. See Table 5, Pages 19 - 21.
In this example, you want to change the Alarm 1 Low value to 500°. Here, the
"=" Command will do the job.
'"=" Command Syntax with ANSI X3.28 Protocol:
= Data.1 Data.2
With the "=" Command, Data.1 is the Series 942 parameter, in this case Alarm
1 Low , A1LO. Data.2 is the value you want to set for that parameter, in this
example, 500.
Enter in ASCII:
= A1LO 500
