ALGorithm

Notes

1. When the number of update requests exceeds the Update Queue size set with 

ALG:UPD:WINDOW by one, the module will refuse the request and will 
issue the error message "Too many updates in queue. Must send UPDATE 
command". Send ALG:UPDATE, then re-send the update request that caused 
the error.

2. The "Too many updates in queue..." error can occur before the module is 

INITialized. It’s not uncommon with several algorithms defined, to have more 
variables that need to be pre-set before INIT than you will change in one 
update after the algorithms are running. You may send INIT with updates 
pending. The INIT command automatically performs the updates before 
starting the algorithms.

ALGOrithm:UPDate:WINDow?

ALGOrithm:UPDate:WINDow? 

returns the number of variable, and algorithm 

updates allowed within the UPDATE window.

•

Returned Value: number of updates in the UPDATEwindow. The type is 

int16
