RS-232 Communication/Data Logger Option
RS-232 Command Set Reference
Commands for configuring permanent memory
The HI and LO command configure the high and low setpoint limit values
respectively. For example, HI=90.0 would configure the high setpoint limit to 90.0 in
whichever units of measurement last selected through the RS-232 interface. The A
and B commands configure the upper limit and lower limit of the control band,
respectively. The HI, LO, A, and B commands are compatible with the percent units
selection.
The LENGTH command configures the active sensor length setting in the current
units. LENGTH=35.0 would configure the active sensor length to 35.0 units of
centimeters or inches.
Note
The LENGTH=<value> command will only function if CM or INCH are
currently selected as the units of measurement. The LENGTH command does
not configure the Model 186 if the units of measurement are PERCENT.
The INTERVAL command sets the fill timer in minutes as described in the
Operation
section on page 26. Setting the value of INTERVAL to 0 disables the fill timer
function.
The SAVE command saves the HI, LO, A, B, INTERVAL and LENGTH settings to
permanent memory. Saved settings are then recalled each time the power is turned off
