READYx(=)
Purpose Set or read the ready criteria for a specific “Setup”
Syntax “READYx=USER, RdyBand, RdyVac”
“READYx=”DEFAULT” (specifies to use fixed defaults)
“READYx”
Default “READYx=USER, 2.5mm, 5Paa”
Argument x:
RdyBand: The setup number whose ready criteria are to be accessed
(1 to 13)
Piston position “ready band” (
±
mm)
VacLim: The vacuum ready limit (Paa)
Remarks The PG9000 uses the piston position and the vacuum measurement (in absolute by vac
mode) to determine if the
Ready/Not Ready condition. Other factors can also keep the
PG9000 measurement from being Ready (such as an active external pressure
controller, active rotation system, active AMH automated mass handler). The piston
position must be within the ready band (“RdyBand”) to allow a ready condition. In
absolute by vacuum measurement mode, the vacuum measurement must also be below
the Vacuum Limit (“VacLim”). Each “Setup” defined for the PG9000 can have a different
set of
Ready/Not Ready criteria. If DEFAULT settings are specified, then the values are
fixed and cannot be changed.
The piston position ready limits define the piston position beyond which the GEN
function refloats the piston when GEN is ON.
Piston rotation rate limits are in the individual piston-cylinder file.
Example Typical command:
Typical reply: “READY2=USER, 3, 10”
“USER, 3.0mm, 10Paa”

ERR #1,2,3,4 Invalid arguments

READYCK(=)
Purpose To set or check the ready check flag, or, used to determine if a Not Ready condition has
occurred.
Syntax “READYCK=1”
“READYCK”
Default READYCK=0
Argument N/A
Remarks The internal ready check flag is cleared whenever PG9000 reaches a Not Ready (NR)
condition. The “READYCK” command will return the status of this flag. This flag can be
set only by sending the “READYCK=1” command while PG9000 is in a
Ready condition.
If you send the “READYCK=1” command when PG9000 is in a Not Ready (NR)
condition, the reply will be “READYCK=0”.
If you set READYCK=1 when PG9000 achieves a
Ready (R) condition, you can use
READYCK later to determine if a Not Ready (NR) condition has occurred. If NR has
occurred READYCK returns “0”. If NR has not occurred READYCK returns “1”.
Example Typical command:
Typical reply:
Typical reply: “READYCK=1”
“READYCK=1” (If PG9000 condition is
Ready )
“READYCK=0” (if PG9000 condition is Not Ready )
Error See Section 4.3.3 Error Messages
ERR #1 If n is not a 1

REMOTE
Purpose To place PG9000 into a remote lock-out mode.
Syntax “REMOTE”
Default N/A
Argument N/A
Remarks A REMOTE command deactivates the front panel. All front panel controls will be disabled.
The REMOTE command can only be canceled by a LOCAL command or by turning off
PG9000 power then reapplying it.
Example Typical command:
Typical reply: “REMOTE”
“REMOTE”
