Remote Operation
Basic use of the remote operation features are
described in this section. Cable lengths must be
limited to a maximum length of 3m.
Analog/Digital Controls
The MC-LS may be operated remotely using a
potentiometer and a switch connected to the
appropriate pins of the IN/OUT port as shown in
Figure 3.
In the default configuration, the MC-LS must first be
turned on using the front panel power switch.

will then turn off the LED output.

The MC-LS may be controlled remotely using
simple text commands sent over the USB COM
port or RS-232 serial port. The RS-232 port must
be configured for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and no parity.
All commands begin with an ampersand (&) and
end with Carriage Return, ASCII code 0x0D
(typically denoted as ‘\r’).
