Command Example.
ANSI X3.28 "=" Command Example
The "=" Command sets a specific 945 parameter to a specific value. The general
command syntax applies to all commands. The definition and number of argu-
ments depends on the command itself. See Table 6, Pages 20 - 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 945 parameter, in this case Alarm 1
Low , A1LO. Data.2 is the value you want to set for that parameter, in this ex-
ample, 500.
Enter in ASCII:
= A1LO 500
The hex string is:
023D2041314C4F2035303003
