External Control Command Descriptions
ASCII capital characters
UNTG, UNTN, UNTL - Change UNITS to Kg, N, lb
UNTG CR... Kg(g)
UNTN CR... N
UNTL CR... lb (oz)
DSPN, DSPT, DSPC - Change to average, peak tension,
peak compression mode
DSPN CR... Change to average mode
DSPT CR... Change to peak tension mode
DSPC CR... Change to peak compression
PKCL _____________________ Peak Clear
PKCL CR.... Peak reset. Same as reset from the gauge. If edge
trigger is selected for HOLD, the PC can release the HOLD using
this particular command.
MEMS, MEMC, MEMD, MEMZ, MEMN
(five control memory commands)
MEMS CR.... with this command if gauge is set in the ON-
DEMAND (single) mode, it sends back to the computer the
word SING. If gauge is set in the continuous or standard
mode then when this command is sent and the gauge’s
memory starts, it sends back to PC the word STA. If memory
stops, the word STP is sent back to the PC.
MEMC CR.... Last DATA in memory to clear
MEMD CR ....Memory DATA recall
MEMZ CR ... Clear all DATA in memory
MEMN CR ....Memory location recall
CPST _________________________Comparator Setting
CPST 0 0000 0 0000 CR
Example: CPST
1234-0123 CR
Z _________________________________ TARE
Z CR .... To TARE. Works the same way as if it were done thru
the gauge i.e SHIFT + ZERO.
UPD ________________________ Display Update Time
UPD CR
