13.2.2.2 Digitiser/Sensor Control - Command line
Platinum provides both a high-level and a low-level interface to
connected digitisers. The low-level interface involves interacting
directly with the command-line of the digitiser and is described at the
end of this section.
The high-level interface is provided by the adc­command command,
which takes a number of sub-commands as described below. Each
command must be directed to a specific sensor and this must be
specified as the first argument. When invoked with no arguments, or
with the ­­help argument, a list of available targets (referred to as
“modules”) is displayed:
eam2010 ~ # adc-command --help
usage: adc-command [options...]
======== Available ADC modules ========
C914-3K55
C914-3K56
This is followed by a list of available sub-commands. In the
descriptions below, module should be replaced by a name from the
list provided by invoking adc­command ­­help.
•
adc­command module mass­centre
Perform a centring operation on the sensor's masses. This
sub-command takes no options.
•
adc­command module mass­query
