Shutdown - GeoCOM¶

For power management reasons, it might be required to deactivate some aspects of an instrument to conserve power.

Requirements¶

GeoCOM capable instrument

Examples¶

Shutting down the instrument¶

iman shutdown geocom instrument COM1

Deactivating GeoCOM online mode (only applicable before TPS1200)¶

iman shutdown geocom protocol COM1

Usage¶

iman shutdown geocom¶

Deactivate components of a GeoCOM capable instrument.

To reduce power consumption, in certain scenarios it can be beneficial to power off some components of an instrument. Or shut down the entire machine completely.

Instruments before the TPS1200 series cannot be remotely reactivated after a complete shutdown (the GeoCOM online mode has to be manually switched on). Similarly, instruments that are not connected by physical cable (but by Bluetooth for example) cannot be reactivated as the wireless connection can only be esatblished with an active instrument. Only shut down these instruments remotely if no further operation is needed until the next manual access.
