ANALOG?

Monitor Out Parameter Query

Input

ANALOG? <output>[term]

Format

n
<output>

Specifies which unpowered analog output to query the Monitor Out 

parameters for: 3 or 4.

Returned

<input>,<units>,<high value>,<low value>,<polarity>[term]

Format

n,n,±nnnnn,±nnnnn,n (refer to command for definition)

AOUT?

Analog Output Data Query

Input

AOUT? <output>[term]

Format

n
<output>      Specifies which unpowered analog output to query: 3 or 4.

Returned

<output percentage>[term]

Format

±nnn.n

Remarks

Returns the output percentage of the unpowered analog output. 

 

ATUNE

Autotune Command

Input

ATUNE <output>,<mode>,[term]

Format

n,n
<output>

Specifies the output associated with the loop to be Autotuned: 1 – 4.

<mode>

Specifies the Autotune mode. Valid entries: 0 = P Only, 1 = P and I, 
2 = P, I, and D.

Example

ATUNE 2,1 [term]

—initiates Autotuning of control loop associated with output 2, in 

P and I mode.

Remarks

If initial conditions required to Autotune the specified loop are not met, an Autotune 
initialization error will occur and the Autotune process will not be performed. The 
TUNEST? query can be used to check if an Autotune error occurred.

Input

BRIGT <contrast value>[term]

Format

nn
<contrast value> 1–32

Remarks

Sets the display contrast for the front panel LCD.

BRIGT?

Display Contrast Query

Input

BRIGT?[term]

Returned

<contrast value>[term]

Format
