Global Gain Query: 1:0:SENS?
Global Gain Response: 1:SENS:1= 6.0;2= 10.0;3= 10.0;4= 10.0;
FSCI
The FSCI command provides a scaling mechanism to automatically set the gain based on a known input level (in EU)
and what output level (in Volts) you would like that Full Scale input level to be represented by. For instance 1000g’s =
10Volts. These 2 values along with the transducer sensitivity set the gain. Channel Gain is calculated using the equation:
Gain = FSO*1000/(FSI*SENS).
Setting:
1:1:FSCI=1000.000\r\n (unit 1, channel 1 FSI set to 1000.0)
Setting Response: 1:FSCI:ok
Query:
The FSCI query returns the channels Full Scale Input value in engineering units
Query Format: Unit#:Ch#:CMD?
Response format: Unit#:Cmd:Ch#:= <fsci>;
Query: 1:1: FSCI?
Response: 1:FSCI:1=1000.0;
Global FSCI Query: 1:0:FSCI?
Global FSCI Response: 1:FSCI:1=1000.0;2=1000.0;3=1000.0;4=1000.0;
FSCO
The FSCO command provides a scaling mechanism to automatically set the gain based on a known input level
(in EU) and what output level (in Volts) you would like that Full Scale input level to be represented by. For
instance 1000g’s = 10Volts. These 2 values along with the transducer sensitivity set the gain. Channel Gain is
calculated using the equation:
Gain = FSO*1000/(FSI*SENS).
Setting:
1:1:FSCO=10.000\r\n
(unit 1, channel 1 FSI set to 10.0)
Setting Response: 1:FSCO:ok
Query:
The FSCO query returns the channels Full Scale Output Value in volts
Query Format: Unit#:Ch#:CMD?
Response format: Unit#:Cmd:Ch#:= <fsci>;
Query: 1:1: FSCO?
Response: 1:FSCO:1=10.0;
Global FSCO Query: 1:0:FSCO?
Global FSCO Response: 1:FSCO:1=10.0;2=10.0;3=10.0;4=10.0;
INPT
The INPT command sets the input mode for a given channel. The mode selection is sent as an integer value.
The possible input modes and their associated values are:
•
CHARGE
0
•
VOLTAGE
1
