Terminal

You can monitor the AVW200 with terminal commands via the terminal emulator in Device Configuration Utility or LoggerNet. You can also use a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal or ProComm.

To enter terminal commands, first connect the RS-232 port of the AVW200 to a serial port on your computer using an RS-232 socket-to-pin serial cable. After specifying the appropriate COM port (port to which the AVW200 is attached) and communications baud rate (AVW200 baud rate = 38400), press Carriage Return (CR) four times or until AVW200> is returned. A description of the available terminal commands and the values returned for each command is listed in Terminal mode commands.

List of commands

NOTE:

The Mcmm terminal command was added to OS version STD.02. Customers with OS version STD.01 can get this terminal command by downloading a new OS (refer to Send OS).

CAUTION:

When using the Mcmm terminal command, no other method of measurement should be used, else multiplexing gets out of sequence and measurement errors result.

Refer to Public table and Status table for more information.
