Response

@

Read Unit ID

Model number, Firmware version and serial number. 
Eg. SY021,V5.60i, 1234cr

C

Clear Log

If Logger is fitted; ‘Y’ if successful, ‘N’ if unread data
if no logger fitted; ‘?’

D

Dump logger

If logger fitted; Transfer logger data in CSV spreadsheet 
format. If no logger fitted ‘?’

M

Logger memory

Reports size of data logger memory 
eg. 064 indicates 64k logger
      000 indicates no logger

H

Define Header

Allows a header of up to 50 characters to be programmed.
After *H type the heading, ending with cr. Batch tickets 
and data downloads will contain the header at the top. 

S

Serial number

Reports the instrument serial number, eg. 1234cr

TC

Calibrate clock

The built in clock can be speeded up or slowed down to 
improve accuracy. The range of values is +/- 31. Each 
positive step increases the clock speed by 4.068ppm, 
each negative step reduces it by 2.034ppm. 

TCF will put 

the clock into frequency test mode and report the current 
calibration value. To enter a new value send



TC+nn or 

TC-nn where nn is a 2 digit number in the range +/-31

TR

Read time

Reports the current time & date in the form:

YY MM DD hh:mm:ss(cr)

TS

Set time

Set the clock to a new time and date. Enter in the form:

TSYYMMDDhhmmss

8.0 Instrument calibration and configuration

NOTE: Any changes made in this section only take effect after turning off then back on.
For automatic calibration using mV/V and full scale values, the instrument uses a set of calibration 
values stored in its non-volatile memory. There are 2 values, 1 for each input. Each value is a 3 
digit number which is nominally 500 and which can be adjusted up or down, each step equating to 
a 0.01% change. To access these values press CAL  but then instead of entering the PIN, press 
CAL, 2, ENT, 1.

The display will then show

Pressing ENT will display the current value. Pressing ENT again will allow a new value to be 
entered or pressing CAL will move on the next value.
