7 Command list of the TW alpha plus Titration Sample Changer
The TW alpha plus Titration Sample Changer features a set of commands which can be used to control it from
connected devices. These commands are generated automatically by titrators from SCHOTT Instruments and
the various titration systems. If you wish to create application programs of your own, please use the com-
mands listed below.
All commands are present in the following form: Address (2 digits) command CR LF.
The address is used to address the proper device, since it is possible that more than one device having an
addressable RS-232-C interface are connected to a computer. The addresses may be selected from 00
through 15. In the list below the addresses are indicated by the generalised "aa" form.
