The list below shows all available commands for a Programmable DPS.  Using these commands the developer will be able to create many useful programs for a broad range of applications.  Users can write their own programs using LabView®, MatLab®, Visual C++®, Visual Basic® or Hyper Terminal which is useful for testing and writing simple programs – see single DPS and Master-Slave examples.  The Programmable DPS can communicate with a PC via the RS-232 Serial Port.

There are four categories of commends:

Read - all commands in the Read category show the existing DPS operation status.  There are 13 available commands in this category: h, H, !I, !L, !M, !N, !P, !Q, !W, !y, !Y, !Z, !#

Write - all commands in the Write category enforce the DPS operation.  There are 6 available commands in this category: I, L, M, N, P, Q

Switch Mode – all commands in the Switch Mode category control modes of the DPS operation. There are 7 available commands in this category: G, g, K, k, J, j, X

Action - All commands in the Action category relate to the program transfer or saving.  There are 5 available commands in this category: #A, W, w, $, ZABCD.

Table I contains a description of several cryptograms used in this document:

Sign	Description
>> [!] or [?]	The expression describes the output status produced by the command execution
>>	Denotes “returns” or “answer back”
[!]	Notification - denotes “OK”
[?]	Notification - denotes “ERROR”
[CR]	Carriage return - do not type “[“ and “]”
_	In this document this sign is used to indicate “Space”
XXXX	In this document letters “XXXX” denotes “Data” in hexadecimal format
*	Denotes – “Global Address”
]	Typing symbol “]” ends the program step
}	Typing symbol “}” ends the program”
A	In this document letter “A” denotes the “Address”, except command “ZABCD” where the letter “A” is part of the command.
C	In this document letter “C” denotes “Command”
R	In this document letter “R” denotes – “Read”
S	In this document letter “S” denotes – “Store”
T	In this document letter “T” denotes “Time” in hexadecimal format
W	In this document letter “W” denotes – “Write”
Important	Important information

IMPPORTANT: Do not confuse letters A and C (used in this document) with the hexadecimal characters “A” and “C” (0, 1, 2……….A, B, C, D, E, F). 

Read category command structure: C[CR].

Note:  An exception to this format is command “h & H”.  Both the “h” & “H” commands require additional description in the form of “XXXX” (hexadecimal number)=> hXXXX[CR] or HXXXX[CR].  For details see commands description.

Write category command structure: CXXXX[CR].

Switch Mode category command structure: C[CR].

Note:  An exception to this format is command “X” which requires an additional string: either FFFF or *0000 => XFFFF[CR] or X*0000[CR].

Action category command structure: C[CR].
