(C)
Read system parameters. These commands read the system oriented commands, that is those not 
associated with any film. The group command is the letter C followed by a system parameter 
number. 
(D)
Write System Parameters. These commands are used to set the system parameters. The group 
command is the letter D followed by the system parameter number, the character "=", and the data 
value. 
______________________________________________________________________ 
 
Command: C 
Mnemonic: 
EXCT_rdsp (read system parameters)
Parameters:
[2..32] corresponding to system parameter types AFILM..REQMEMMOD .
Description:
Requests a read back from the selected system parameter value. See the list of 
parameters and the corresponding ident code below. 
Returns:
[RZCD_AOK][param_value] if proper parameter id was sent. Exact format of
[param_value] depends on the particular parameter for which the data was 
requested. 
[RZCD_ILDV] if improper value for parameter argument.
[RZCD_ILSN]
if
too
many
arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..

Command: D 
Mnemonic: 
EXCT_wrsp (write system parameters)
Parameters:
[2 .. 32] [assign_delim] [desired_value] corresponding to parameter types 
AFILM..REQMEMMOD as in C command above. The desired_value is a numeric 
data item of proper range and representation (# of decimals points, etc..) used to 
update or change the value of the parameter to. This value is expressed in the same 
manner as returned to the host when a C type command is issued (See A and B 
commands above). 
Description:
Command to set or store a new parameter value into one of the system parameter 
variables. 
Returns: 
 
[RZCD_AOK] (A or B) if correctly processed.
[RZCD_ILDV] if improper value for parameter argument.
[RZCD_ILSN]
if
too
many
arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..
[RZCD_INHB] if chosen parameter can not be programmed at this time. This 
applies to run number, active film or process, system configuration, etc..
