Kevex microfocus tube missing serial commands

[IgorIgor1233123]

Hi,

i have a microfocus X ray tube from Kevex. but it is controlled over RS232.
my Problem is that im missing a crucial Serial command for the Tube conditioning.
The rest of the commands are documented over the RS232 Interface.
But without running this command it will not work.
no worries i know what im doing, I know how to work with radiation.
Hope this is in the correct section of the Forum

Any chance you could figure out some sort of structure of the commands and try brute forcing? Maybe dump the rom and look for commands in there? Do you know someone that's running a kevex product where you could listen to the serial connection and find out what the command is?  Did you try contacting the company about software or what they call Product Interface Specification (Kevex p/n 5973-3036).  Just listing some things that might or might not be usable in this case...

I've got a similar tube and found this manual by searching for "Error 28 Tube Conditioning" :

https://www.spellmanhv.com/-/media/en/Technical-Resources/Manuals/uXRB130P65MAN.pdf

It contains all the commands that are not listed by the HELP command, including the tube conditioning program.

Hope this helps!
