Documentation:
    DESCRIPTION
    This macro file allows to connect a millitron micrometer as a pseudo counter in SPEC.
    History:
    18/10/01, L.Claustre change on milon macro see the setup section.
    18/12/00, L.Claustre first version for distribution.


    SETUP
    Controller 1240
    The millitron controller has to be configured before using it with this macros.
    Press the \"config\" press-button (on the rear panel), then go the \"PARAM E/S\" menu and check values are the following:
    • 9600
    • PR.V--
    • RS232C
    • CAR.8n1
    • NO.DIS.
    Then go to the main menu and check the \"CALCUL\" option is set instead of \"SANS C/I\".
    Now save changes, so go to the \"SAUVEG.\" menu and press the down button (right side), \"OK\" should be displayed.
    SPEC

    SerialLine dserver
    Default resources are enough.
