Listed below is the command set for the Application Programming Interface (API) for the FFC-100. Since the FFC-CM does not have a touch screen or GUI, all commands must be performed via the API.
Computer communication to the FFC-100 occurs by first establishing a Serial COM port via the USB 2.0 physical interface. Computer communication should be platform independent, though appropriate USB drivers may have to be installed. The following table shows the serial port settings:
Baud Rate | 155200 |
---|---|
Data Bits | 8 |
Parity | None |
Stop Bits | 1 |
Flow Control | None |
To perform an operation, an ASCII-based text message is first constructed from a command and its arguments, and then the message is transmitted to the FFC-CM through the COM port. The following rules apply:
