ETS-Lindgren FM5004 Field Monitor (Archived) - Manual (Page 57)

7.0 Remote Operation
The FM5004 Field Monitor may be operated remotely by connecting the
IEEE-488 parallel port or the RS-232 serial port to a remote device, such as an
IEEE-488 bus or a personal computer.
The IEEE-488 port is IEEE-488.2 compatible.
Command Set Format
See Remote Commands on page 60 for a detailed description of
remote commands.
Each command code is composed of two or three alpha characters and an
optional numeric parameter; commands can be entered in upper or lower case.
If a command is sent without the optional numeric parameter, the instrument
assumes the command is a status request. When the command is a status
request, the instrument returns a string consisting of the command followed by
the current setup for that command.
All commands are terminated by a line feed . To include several commands
in a single command string, separate each command by a semicolon (delimiter).
Do not include spaces between a command and the associated numeric
parameter. Data returned from the instrument will be terminated with a
.

IEEE-488 R EQUIREMENTS
For IEEE-488 operation, the device address is set using the menu system. At the
factory the device address is set to 4. If your IEEE-488 device uses address 4,
reset the switch to a vacant address.
