3.5.2 CLI Commands
The Demo Board User’s Manual (DBUM) for the 71M6521 contains a complete list of the available commands.
Note: Only the 71M6521FE chip has enough memory to support a serial command line interface in addition to its
metering functions. Communication with the 71M6521BE and 71M6521DE chips is implemented with a simpler
interface, based on Intel hex records. This interface is also described in the Demo Board User’s Manual.
3.5.3 Command (Macro) Files
Commands or series of commands may be stored in text (ASCII) files and sent to the 71M652X using the “Transfer –
Send Text File” command of Hyperterminal or any other terminal program.
