Serial Remote Control (RS232)

The XDS1 V2 is equipped with a 9-pin RS232 port for system remote control via a serial

cable (not provided by EMM Labs). Please use a standard RS232 cable. Do not use a null

model cable, as this will not work. RS232 communication port settings:

• 19,200 baud

• 8 bits

• 1 stop bit

• no flow control

• no parity bit

Commands to the XDS1 V2

All commands sent to the XDS1 V2 consist of 3 ASCII characters (all lowercase) followed by

a carraige return or . Repeating a will repeat the last command sent. Received

commands are not stored in a stack. They need to be sent in intervals of at least 50ms to

allow enough time for the XDS1 V2 to execute a command before receiving the next one.
