MPS4232
Section 5: Software
*This packet will be transmitted when the host issues one of the following commands (excluding a return prompt):
1. SCAN from Telnet connection
2. Any Get command type
3. STATUS
4. LIST <group> or TYPE <group>
5. FDISK
6. An Error message if an error is generated
All responses from the MPS will end with a termination configuration and prompt character (“>”). For “multi-list” or “multi-
line” responses, such as the response to a LIST command, each line will be terminated with a CR-LF (\r\n), except for the last
line in the response, which will include the “>” character.
Single line response: If the MPS is ready, a STATUS command would respond as:
STATUS: READY<CR><LF>
>
Multi-line response: If the MPS is ready, a LIST IP command would respond as:
SET IPADD 191.30.95.1<CR><LF>
SET SUBNET 191.30.95.1<CR><LF>
SET GW 0.0.0.0<CR><LF>
SET MAC 0:60:5d:82:0:04<CR><LF>
>
The “>” signifies that the MPS module is ready to accept a new command.
Scan Data Formats
Scan data from the MPS4200 can be formatted in six different ways: ASCII (A), Comma Separated Variable (CSV or C),
formatted for VT100 terminals (F), Binary (B), and LabVIEW Binary (L). The format is selected by setting the FORMAT configu -
ration variable to A, C, F, B, or L respectively. It can also be selected by clicking on the appropriate link on the “Scan” page
when using the Web Browser.
The FORMAT configuration variable sets the format for Telnet (T), FTP/UDP (F), and Binary Server (B) separately. See the
description of FORMAT for detailed description.
ASCII Scan Data Examples
The MPS4200 can be configured to output ASCII scan data in several formats. The format is configured with the
FORMAT
variable. Once a scan has stopped, the output will be followed by the
PROMPT
configuration.
Note: Examples in this section may only show a limited amount of channels for simplicity and space.
Unformatted ASCII
When
FORMAT T
or F is set to A, data is displayed in a column type format and is scrolling at the set rate.
Frame # <number>
<channel 1> <pressure> <temperature>
<channel 2> <pressure> <temperature>
:: :: :: :: ::
<channel n> <pressure>
If UNITS is set to an engineering unit value; <pressure> will be a value in EU, <temperature> will be in °C.
If UNITS is set to RAW; <pressure> will be a raw A/D pressure count, <temperature> will be in °C.
The <temperature> will only be shown on channels 1 through 4 as there are only 4 RTDs.
