Appendix D OptiMelt Remote Programming 101are NOT sent with a query. The query returns the value of these parameters. Values arereturned as a string of ASCII characters (unless otherwise noted).Do NOT send ( ) or { } as part of the command.For example, the command sequence INIT (?) {x} is used as follows.INIT 86.5INIT ?Variables are defined as follows.i, d, n integersxreal numberstext stringsSet the Start Temperature to 86.5 °C.Query the Start Temperature.All numeric variables may be expressed in integer, floating point or exponential formats(i.e. the number five can be either 5, 5.0, or 0.5E1). Strings are sent as a sequence ofASCII characters.USB Queue DisplayTo help find program errors, the OptiMelt can display the USB buffer on the screen. Thisscreen is accessed by touching USB Q in the System tab. The Queue display may slowdown communications and should be displayed only when testing or debugging a hostprogram. Press Done to exit from this display.The upper half of the Queue display is the Receive Queue. These are the most recentcharacters which have been received by the OptiMelt (displayed in all UPPER case).Commands which have already been executed are shown in normal text. Commandswhich have not yet been executed are shown with a gray background. Command errorsare shown in inverse text.The lower half of the Queue display is the Transmit Queue. These are the most recentcharacters which have been placed in the output buffer. Characters which have alreadybeen sent over the interface are shown in normal text. Characters which are waiting to besent are shown with a gray background.OptiMelt Automated Melting Point System
