Read Boolean state of I/O node 8, hardware relay number 1 output contacts. Response of
1, output is active (assuming I/O rungs in program make it so). 
 
Command J141 
Response A1 
Description 
Read status of I/O soft node, # 141. Assuming the node is assigned somewhere in the I/O

Command: K 
Mnemonic: 
EXCT_kill (KILL, causes equivalent to reset of CPU)
Parameters:
=200 literal string with special numeric value to trigger.
Description:
Commands STC-2002 to stop satisfying internal watchdog circuit thereby causing a
hardware reset within approximately 400 milliseconds. This command should be sent only to 
cause a remote power up condition similar to a power-off/power-on sequence. This causes a 
complete hardware reset of the instrument, and can be used to cause certain parameters (such as 
sequencing/non-sequencing, etc..) to be reloaded after being changed by the host computer 
interface. =200 will reboot both the UIFC processor and the SCUP processor. 
 
Returns: 
May not return anything if watchdog causes a reset before reply message is requested received at
host or may return partial message if reset during RS232 reply. 
 
 
[RZCD_AOK] if proper safety code (=200) was sent. 
[RZCD_ILDV] if improper value for parameter argument. 
[RZCD_ILSN] if too many arguments, wrong delimiters, etc..
