m = Request Load & Distance Pairs
The ASCII command m is used to request a pair of load and distance results. When
the m command is requested, the CS System will transmit a load result with its
corresponding distance result.
Type character m, then ENTER.
This sends the instantaneous load value and the instantaneous distance value.
n = Send Continuous Load & Distance Values
The ASCII command n is used to request a continuous transmission of load
measurement values and distance measurement values. When the n command is
requested, the CS System will transmit load and distance results continuously until
the D command is requested.
The load value is displayed first, followed on the second row with the distance value.
Type character n, then ENTER
This starts the continuous sending of load and distance values.
p = Request Tester’s Crosshead Status
The ASCII command p is used to request the CS Tester’s crosshead’s operating
status. The status may be:
n U = means crosshead is currently moving upward
n D = means crosshead is currently moving downward
n S = means crosshead is stopped
Type character p, then ENTER
This reports the crosshead motion status at the computer.
s = Stop Crosshead Movement
The ASCII command s is used to stop the crosshead movement. It is used in
conjunction with the command u (move crosshead upward) or d (move crosshead
downward).
Type character s, then ENTER
This stops the crosshead motion.
t = Request Continuous Distance Value
The ASCII command t is used to request that distance values be continuously
transmitted to the computer. Select command y to stop the continuous transmission.
Type character t, then ENTER.
The Distance (D) result is displayed continuously at the computer.
u = Move Crosshead Upward
The ASCII command u is used to move the crosshead in an upward direction at the
configured speed rate (e10.000). The crosshead will continue to move upward at the
configured speed rate until a limit has been achieved or until the s command is
invoked.
Type character u, then ENTER.
The crosshead will begin to move in an upward direction and the speed rate set using the e
command. It will continue to move up until a limit has been reached or until the s command
(stop) is invoked.
v = Request Lower Distance Limit
The ASCII command v is used to send and display the lower distance limit configured
using the g command.
Type character v, then ENTER.
The lower distance limit value set using the command g is displayed at the computer.
