Format: Header, Address Instruction=28, Length=0, Checksum
Example: To instruct the controller to send the controller status the computer
would send:
Chr$(255)+Chr$(254)+Chr$(1)+Chr$(28)+Chr$(0)+Chr$(227)
30. Start process (Code #29)
Instructs the controller to start process # n from starting layer # x.
Format: Header, Address, Instruction=29, Length=3, Process #(0-98) 1byte,
Starting layer #(1-999) 2 bytes, Checksum.
Example: To instruct the controller to start process # 5 on layer # 10 the
computer would send:
Chr$(255)+Chr$(254)+Chr$(1)+Chr$(29)+Chr$(3)+Chr$(4)+Chr$(0)+Ch
r$(9)+Chr$(210)
31. Send run-time values (Code #30)
Instructs the controller to send the run-time value list. A description of the run-
time
value list is as follows:
Value Name
