program the MODE for all three channels in one command string, the
Remote (Slave) Mode Operation
c o m m a n d string might appear like this:
<ESC>M011M023M034<CR>
In this example, CHANNEL 1 was programmed for GAUSS-AC, CHANNEL 2
for TESLA-AC and CHANNEL 3 for TESLA-DC.
As a final example, the following command string:
<ESC>M012RA12PE11DI1221<CR>
programs CHANNEL l's MODE to GAUSS-DC, its RANGE to 30 G, turns its
PEAK HOLD function OFF and enables both the bargraph and the digital
reading on the display as well as turning off the display backlight.
V-D COMMAND EXECUTION
The gaussmeter will not execute any of the commands in the command string
until the
final terminator character <CR> has been received and the unit is
triggered if being controlled on
the
IEEE-488 bus (see Section V-E). It is the
user's responsibility to limit the entire command string to 1000 characters or
less
including
the initiator and terminator characters. Characters sent in
excess of this limit will be ignored until the terminator is received.
It should be noted that if an initiator <ESC> character is received in the middle
of a command string, all previous characters will be ignored and the
gaussmeter will start over, ready to accept another 999 characters. A
transmission such as:
<ESC>M012M024<ESC>RA12<CR>
will be processes as through the transmitted command string was:
<ESC>RA12<CR>
Once the terminator is received {and the unit triggered if being controlled by
the IEEE-488 bus) commands are executed in the order they were received.
Thus a RANGE command such as:
<ESC>RA22RA14<CR>
will first program CHANNEL 2 for a range of 30 G and then CHANNEL 1 for 3
kG. A RANGE command like:
<ESC>RA22RA24<CR>
will first program CHANNEL 2 for a range of 30 G and then for 3 kG and has
the same results as a command string of :
<ESC>RA24<CR>.
