AKs_tst

Purpose:

Send a command to an AK device via the AK_sync handler based on provided arguments.

Enter:

AKs_tst <instrument_name> <command_string>

Where:

instrument_name

Specify the label for the device.

command_string

Specify the command string to send which can be ‘exit’, ‘reset’, or an AK command string.

Example:

AKs_tst AVL483 “AKEN Deviceid @StringVar AKSerialN”
Get device id, firmware rev to variable at string variable, and serial number.

AKs_tst AVL483 “AKEN – – -“
Send command to get device ID, but do not do anything with returned data.

AKs_tst AVL483 reset
Tell AK_sync to reconfig its pointers to the CyFlex variables.

AKs_tst AVL483 exit
Tell AK_sync to exit, closing access to the AK device.

Notes:

The ‘reset’ command in the code sets the same internal command as ‘exit’, which may not perform a reset as described.
