PROBE

Set Probe Serial Number and Date.

Input:

PROBE <serial number>,<date>

Returned:

Nothing.

Remarks:

Sets the serial number and date for the attached probe. A probe with a PROM attachment

(Lake Shore part #FCBL-6) is required for this function. Enter up to 10 characters for a serial
number and enter a date in the form

mmddyyyy

(month, day, year). This command does not

save the information to the probe itself. The COILSAVE command must be used to save the
serial number, date, and coil parameters to the probe.

Example:

PROBE User 5,12291998

sets the serial number to User 5 and the date to 12/29/1998.

PROBE?

Query Probe Serial Number and Date.

Input:

PROBE?

Returned:

. Format:

aaaaaaaaaa,nnnnnnnn

Remarks:

Returns the serial number and date for the probe attached during power up. If a new probe is

attached, cycle the power to load new probe data. A probe with a PROM attachment (Lake
Shore part #FCBL-6) or a Lake Shore probe is required for this function. Returns 10
characters for a serial number and returns a date in the form

mmddyyyy
