START_PZADJUST_AUTO
Starts the automatic PZ process. The automatic PZ is not complete until indicated by the auto
PZ status bit. This bit is returned by the SHOW_STATUS command. Spectral data can be
corrupted if automatic PZ is initiated while a device is collecting data.
STEP_OUTPUT
Causes a pulse to be output on the Change Sample output port. The level of the Change
Sample output is changed then returned to the level present when the STEP_OUTPUT com-
mand was received. The duration of the intermediate level varies but is never less than 2
µ
s.
Use the SET_OUTPUT_HIGH or SET_OUTPUT_LOW commands to establish an initial
output level.
Responses:
$C00000087<CR>
Initial and final level on Change Sample was low.
$C00001088<CR> Initial and final level on Change Sample was high.
STOP [seg-mask]
Stops the acquisition of spectral data. The optional segment mask is provided for compati-
bility with other MCBs and may be any value from 0 to 65535 but is ignored.
STOP_OPTIMIZE
Stops the optimization in progress. The DSPEC Pro may be in an indeterminate mode. See
also START_OPTIMIZE.
STOP_PZ_AUTOMATIC
Stops the optimization in progress. The DSPEC Pro may be in an indeterminate mode. See
also START_PZ_AUTOMATIC.
TERM
No function in the DSPEC Pro; included for backward compatibility.
TRIGGER
Starts data acquisition if the trigger has been enabled (ENABLE_TRIGGER).
VERIFY_CORR_FLAT
VERIFY_SHAP_FLAT
VERIFY_SHAP_RISE
These test the argument against the list of valid settings and return true if valid.
