Section Six:Using RS-232 Commands Overview

(DCT/DCA) Device Type COMM

The “DCT” and “DCA” commands help you control the recognition of device
types connected to Pointmaker COMM ports. Normally, at startup, the initializa-
tion setting(autodetect) for each COMM port causes the Pointmaker to run
through a list of procedures until it can determine the device type con nected to
each one. The DCT command allows you to limit the initialization pro cess for a
designated port to only look for a specified device. The DCA command allows you
to activate initialization of a COMM port immediately, without having to restart
the Pointmaker.
