Clock Stopping
The microprocessor clock of the SIM964 stops if the module is idle,
“freezing” the digital circuitry. The following actions “wake up” the
clock:
1. A power-on.
2. A press of a front-panel button.
3. Activity (send or receive) at the remote interface.
4. An input overload.
5. An upper or lower limit clamp.
The clock runs for as long as is necessary to complete a limit setting
adjustment, or to communicate the output of a query through the
remote interface. However, the clock will remain active for as long
as the overload or limit condition exists.
This default behavior can be modified with the remote com-
mand
AWAK
. Setting
AWAK
ON
will prevent the clock from stopping.
The module returns to
AWAK
OFF
upon power-on.
