flow
This reports the current sample flow. The example below reports that the current sample
flow is 1.108 liters/minute.
Send:
"flow"
Receive: "flow 1.108 l/m"
dtoa d
d = DTOA in table below
This reports the outputs of the 7 Digital to Analog converters (0000 = 0.0% FS, 1000 =
100.0% fullscale). The example below shows that the D/A for the CO voltage Out is
97.7% fullscale.
Send:
"dtoa 1"
Receive: "dtoa 1 0977"
D to A Function Single Range Dual Range Auto Range
1 Voltage Output CO Low CO CO
2 Voltage Output CO High CO Range Status
3 Not Used
4 Not Used
5 Current Output CO Low CO CO
6 Current Output CO High CO Range Status
7 Not Used
8 Not Used
option switches
This reports the status (on/off) of the 8 option switches. For example, a return of
11100000, means that option switches 1, 2, and 3 are on and the others are off (see
“Internal Option Switches” in Chapter 3 “Operation,” for more information about option
switches). The example below shows that option switches 1, 2, and 3 are on.
