TeleType Communications

MM sets the Brewer program to its teletype (terminal) mode, whereby the operator may communicate directly with the Brewer via the computer keyboard and a set of low level commands.
Exit from teletype mode by typing EXIT. See Appendix H for more explanation on the TeleType feature.

List of commands

CommandVariablesUsageDescription
A Repeats the command. Usually use in conjunction with another command move. (I.E. R,0,7,5:O:A) Press home to delete twice to go exit.
B,x
B,2This command controls the lamps
M,m,s
M,10,500Moves motor m to step s. Note: when moving backwards (negative number) it will set that as the new reference point. Click here more motor information.
N,ss refers to the number of stepsN,500(Used for singleboard electronics only.) Moves both micrometer 1 and 2 to step s. Note: when moving backwards (negative number) it will set that as the new reference point. Click here more motor information.
O O
R,p1,p2,t
R,0,5,7This command is used to measure the light intensity according to the variables setup. Often this command is combined with the O command to output the results. R,0,5,7:O
SL SL
SL+ SL
HG+ HG+
FWFilter wheel number,PositionFilter wheel number Filter wheel 1 or 2
Position - What position to move to		FW1,2Move the selected filter wheel to the selected position
TStart Location2End Location
TOP2MAXThis command will move the micrometer 1 to max/op/min position to max/op/min. It assumes the micrometer is already in the start location. This is use to help test the micrometer range.
BStart Location2End Location
BOP2MAXThis command will move the micrometer 2 to max/op/min position to max/op/min. It assumes the micrometer is already in the start location. This is use to help test the micrometer range.
exit exitexit's mm and return to menu ('quit' will do the same thing)
