and Windows 7 operating systems only. We are always working
to update our programs; however, they are not compatible with Windows 8 or any other
operating systems at this time.
The computer must be up-to-date with the latest Windows updates installed and have .NET
framework version 4.0 with the latest updates.
It is strongly recommended that all computer screen savers and power management settings be
disabled when the meter is interfaced with the computer. The computer must not go into
sleep/standby mode while the software update is performed. Many laptop computers go into
sleep/standby mode when the lid is closed, so the lid should remain open throughout the
software update. Laptop computers must also be plugged into a power supply when running the
software update – performing the software update while the computer is on battery power is not
recommended.

meters can print directly to the Orion Star series RS232 inkjet printer (Catalog

Meter Remote Control Protocols
Rules for Remote Control Usage
1.
CR (Carriage Return, ASCII 13) is used to terminate a command. Whenever this
character is received, the internal buffer will be processed.
2.
All characters except for NL (New Line, ASCII 10) are significant. The NL character will
be ignored. The meter is not case sensitive, though all lower case characters are
converted to upper case internally.
3.
Only one command can be executed at a time. No new command can issued until the
current command is finished being processed. When the current command is finished,
it will issue the “>” prompt to the user, indicating a new command can be entered.
4.
Empty commands (i.e. just a CR) will be ignored and a new prompt will be issued.
5.
Set the meter communication settings using the
Instrument Settings
setup menu.

Remote Control Engine
The remote control engine receives input from the serial/USB port and processes it as needed.
Commands sent to the remote control interface will be in the form of “OPCODE
CR
”. Line feeds will be ignored. New commands cannot be issued until the
previous command has been completed and a prompt is given. A prompt is shown as the
greater than symbol (“>“‘) followed by a space.
Remote Control Commands
GETMEAS
GETMEAS
Prints the current displayed channel measurements immediately
GETMEAS Data Count
Prints the current display channel measurement for a set number of times
Example: GETMEAS 2
GETMEASTIMED CH_Channel Combination, Time Interval
Set the channels to be measured and the time interval for the measurements
Channel Combination: Channel numbers to be measured
Time Interval: The measurement retrieving time interval in seconds
Example: GETMEASTIMED CH_12 5
STOP
Ends the timed measurement command
GETCAL
GETCAL #
Prints all calibration data for the selected mode for all applicable channels
If no calibration is available, will return “>” to receive next command
Select calibration data for specific mode as a number:
PH = 1
COND = 6
RMV = 3 DO = 10
ORP = 4 RDO = 12
ISE = 5
INCREMENTAL = 21
Example: GETCAL 1
GETLOG
GETLOG
Prints all the logged measurement data
If no data is logged, will return “>” to receive next command
Example: GETLOG
GETLOG START, END
Prints the data in a specified range, according to the selected print format
If no data is available, will return “>” to receive next command
Example: GETLOG 10, 100
SYSTEM
SYSTEM
Prints the Meter Type, Serial Number, Software Version
Example: Versa Star, V00000, 2.73
