4.3 Device Messages
This section describes the contents of device messages.
4.3.1 Program Header and Program (Response) Data
Program header
The program header is an ASCII-code character string. This manual expresses it in
upper-case characters, but lower-case characters may be used as well. Do not enter
other characters, such as a space between the ASCII-code characters.
Program (response) data
This is an argument following the program header, and its format is defined
individually for each program header.
■ Decimal program data
Integers and decimals (such as 8 and 1.25). The units that can be decoded are as
follows:
Current: KA, A or MA (Default: "A")
Power: KW, W or MW (Default: "W")
Resistance:
KOHM, OHM or MOHM (Default: "OHM")
CREST FACTOR No unit
Where K: 10
3
, M: 10
-3
Figures to the right of the least significant digit are rounded down.
• The PCZ1000A does not support the use of exponents.
• Note that the PCZ1000A discards figures to the right of the least significant
digit, rather than rounding them off.
• Number of significant digits
I SET value: Two decimal places
P SET value: Least significant digit of integers
R SET value: Five digits in total
CREST FACTOR value: One decimal place
• The resolution of the resistance limit setting is in units of S (siemens).
Accordingly, the specified resistance limit setting may not be set exactly to the
setting value. In this case, the next highest valid resistance setting is used.
For example, if 251
Ω
(3.98 mS) is set via remote control when the H range is
set, the actual setting will be 333.33
Ω
(3 mS).
