PROGRAMMER'S GUIDE FOR v01.02.11
2 CONTROLING MIDRA™
2.1 Introduction
Midra™ products are usually controlled by the user friendly RCS² or other high-end remote controller,
but a programming interface is also provided for automation applications.
A good practice is to setup the machine with the RCS² and then control it with a few basic commands
like “preset recalling” and “layer input change”.
2.2 Physical interfaces


labeled “RS-232”
