Command I1 
Response A 
Description 
Signal the STC-2002 to trigger a stop event. The STC-2002 will react as though the front
panel STOP button was depressed. If the unit was not already stopped (such as at idle or ready) then the 
screen of the STC-2002 will display "stopped remote". The A response indicates command understood and 
performed. 
 
Command I18 
Response A 
Description 
Trigger the "acknowledge program memory loss" event within the STC-2002. This event
is duplicated from the front panel when pushing the manual button during the time that the screen indicates 
a program data loss. By triggering this event via the computer, and then downloading new information, a 
program data loss can be recovered fully automatically, without an operator. This can be done if the status 
poll of the non-volatile memory status ("f13") yields a non-zero result. Response indicates the command 
was understood and performed. 
 
Command I 
5
Response A 
Description 
Start process unconditionally, using film #2. Response indicates command understood
and performed.

Command: H 
Mnemonic: EXCT_epoll 
(event
poll)
Parameters:
[1..119] corresponding to event selection codes STOP..STARTCPL as listed below:
Description:
Requests return of selected event condition history since last poll. If selected event has
had an occurrence since last computer poll (RS232 parser, beware of intermingled requests for this 
information) then will return a true (1) value. If no events at all or since last poll then will return false (0). 
 
 
Returns: 
 
[RZCD_AOK][0 or 1] if proper event id [1..119] was sent.
[RZCD_ILDV] if improper value for parameter arguments.
[RZCD_ILSN] if too many arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..
NOTE: Certain events may be disallowed depending on whether or not sequencing is enabled 
in the instrument. 
 
Command: I 
Mnemonic: 
EXCT_etrig (event trigger)
Parameters: [1..119]
corresponding to event selection codes STOP..STARTCPL as listed above
Description:
Causes the selected event to be triggered or made to occur such that any other
system logic can detect it and then perform as designed. I/O can respond to events, the auto-matic 
process sequence system can respond to events, etc. 
 
Returns: 
 
[RZCD_AOK] if proper event id [1..119] was sent.
[RZCD_ILDV] if improper value for parameter argument.
[RZCD_ILSN] if too many arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..
NOTE: Certain events may be disallowed depending on whether or not sequencing 
is enabled in the instrument.
