After pressing this button, the MSK 33 is reset to the factory setting.
Code (Password)
Here, the currently valid password can be read, which must be known by the used
for the remote request or control of the MSK 33. The password can only be
changed in active modem operation.
PIN1
is the master PIN and opens all functions of the MSK 33
(including download of the unit software). Just in case,
you should not register yourself under this PIN, in order
to avoid overwriting the programme software (other safe-
ties are built in).
PIN2
opens all function of the MSK 33 with the exception of
locking the programme memory and the new program-
ming of programme memory. The important settings on
the MSK 33 can be remotely controlled with this.
PIN3
allows one to only receive measurement values form the
MSK 33. The changing of important settings is not possi-
ble after login in under this PIN.
Note: For changing a PIN (only possible via RS232), the
PIN is always taken over, under which you have logged-
in with.
Operating of the MSK 33 via modem
The MSK 33 can be remotely controlled in two terminal modes. It is distinguished
between the TTY mode and the ANSI mode.
The TTY mode
The TTY mode is line-orientated and complies for the most part with the usual op-
eration via a serial interface or a modem. This means, the command abbreviations
are entered in via the keyboard, interpreted by the MSK 33 and the command is
appropriately executed. MSK 33 confirms the execution of the commands with text
information- After each command, the screen is scrolled up line-by-line. This
method is used in general for the automation of measurement tasks. A written
measurement programme from the user cyclically calls up certain commands of the
MSK 33 and analyses measurement values sent by the MSK 33.
the ANSI mode
In ANSI mode, it is possible for the MSK 33 to generate a intuitively easy to use
surface by simple control characters on the controlled page, which is in the SAA
standard under DOS. A advantage of this method is that any terminal programme
for controlling the MSK 33 can be used (e.g. Term95, Telemate, Hyperterminal
etc.). The installation of a separate control software on the PC is not necessary.
Other control computers can also be used as well. Here, The available control
characters in ANSI standard are fallen back upon a subset.
The log-in procedure
The MSK 33 responds to the user with the request of the password (PIN), after a
carrier has been recognised on the modem or for deactivation of the handshake af-
ter the entry of RETURN on the terminal programme. If no PIN is available (all po-
sitions of the respective PIN in the modem menu of the MSK are highlighted yel-
low), here RETURN must be pressed once more for confirmation.
