Once a control sequence or V+ program has been created, it can be invoked by the host sending an
S2F41 message with the sequence or program name specified as the RCMD parameter. Parameters
for the sequence or program can be included in the message. See Chapter 5 for more information
on the message format.
NOTE: If the GEM host will be invoking AIM sequences or V+ routines
with the GEM remote control capability, you should add the following
line to the AIM startup command program (e.g., lmow( ) in the file
LMOW.V2):
MC STACK 16 = 20
Host Control of Equipment
The On-Line / Off-Line buttons on the GEM Control Panel are the only way to transition
between equipment on-line and equipment off-line (the host cannot request a transition from the
equipment off-line state). A host on-line request will result in a transition only when the
equipment is in the host off-line state.1
GEM Requirements
The SEMI standard has several specific requirements for remote commands:
1. The START and STOP commands must be implemented as defined by the SEMI standard.
Since implementing the actual requirements will be different for each installation, it is up to
the user to create these two commands and to ensure that they are SEMI compliant.
2. The following commands are optional. However, if they are implemented, they must match
the SEMI description for the command: PP_SELECT, PAUSE, RESUME, and ABORT.
3. Remote commands may be sent in mixed letters.
These GEM requirements are specified in Section 4.4.4 of SEMI E30-95:
Control State Model Restrictions
The Control State model defines the level of cooperation between the host and equipment. It also
specifies how the operator may interact at the different levels of host control. The host and
equipment are restricted from executing certain programs. See the paragraphs below for details.
1. Note that “equipment off-line” does not physically break the communication link with
the host. The host can still transmit messages and the equipment will respond with the
appropriate message indicating that communication is disabled.
