MPS4232
Section 5: Software
DESCRIPTION Sets the number of frames to output during a scan. Once this number of frames is met during a
scan, the MPS will stop scanning and return to READY mode.
A Frame contains a sampled pressure value per channel output (32 channels total) plus time
stamp, frame number, temperatures, and other additional information defined by the data output
configured in the MPS.
The FPS variable can be used to configure a scan for a certain time duration using the following
equation:
FPS = RATE x TIME
where RATE is expressed in Hertz and TIME is expressed in seconds
SYNTAX SET FPS <number of frames>
Where <number of frames> is the number of frames in a scan. When set to 0 the scan
continues until the STOP command is issued.
RETURNS Prompt when ready to accept a new command
EXAMPLE SET FPS 100

DEFAULT 0
RANGE 0 to 4294967295

COMMAND UNITS
TYPE Set/Get
DESCRIPTION Set the scan units (pressure engineering units)
SYNTAX SET UNITS <units> [<user cv>]
Where <units> is one of the following:
PSI ATM BAR CMHG
CMH2O DECIBAR FTH2O GCM2
