Value Command (V) for any channel
The value command for any channel is used to read the numerical value of a desired item
and unit without altering the front panel display. The format is V(item number)(unit
number)(repeat) … , where the item and unit numbers can be found using the question
mark command (see above), and the repeat number must be 0,1, or 2. Choosing repeat
1 will command the Model 9840 to send you the desired value once. Choosing repeat 2
will command the Model 9840 to send the value at approximately 0.1 second intervals.
Choosing repeat 0 will turn off any values that are being sent by a repeat 2 command.
The pattern can be repeated to view up to four desired items and units.
Note
: when
choosing to view Limits, use "00" for the unit part of the command.
Example:
@123V01021
Acknowledge:
@123 Peak A 55.676 N
Example 2:
@123V00002
Acknowledge 2:
@123 Load A 120.45 Lb
@123 Load A 125.29 Lb
.....
@123 Load A 137.81 Lb
The value command for both channels is similar to the command for one channel with the
following exceptions:
The item numbers available for two channel value display are 50 (Cells AB), 51 (Peak
AB), and 52 (Valley AB).
The format is V(item number)(unit number channel A) (unit number channel B)(repeat),
where the item must be 50, 51, or 52 and unit numbers can be found using the question
mark command (see above). Make sure to use the proper unit numbers for the proper
cell type. A unit number of 08 for a torque cell will result in an unusable argument
message.
The repeat number is exactly like the one channel command. It must be 0, 1, or 2.
Choosing repeat 1 will command the Model 9840 to send you the desired value once.
Choosing repeat 2 will command the Model 9840 to send the value at approximately 3
second intervals. Choosing repeat 0 will turn off any values that are being sent by a
repeat 2 command.
