Command:
i (for FRONT plate, I for BACK plate)
Function:
Set Plate to Idle Mode
Description: When the command i<CR> is received by the IC22/IC22XT unit, the temperature controller
will be switched “off”, meaning that the plate will no longer heat or cool. In Idle Mode, the unit will report a
set point of “off”. To exit Idle Mode, use command j (see below) or set the set point to a new value using
cmd n. If the command is not received in the proper syntax, e<CR><LF> will be returned.
Example – Set Idle Mode:
send: i<CR>
returned: ok <CR><LF>
Example – verify Idle Mode:
send: s<CR>
returned: off<CR><LF>
Example – exit Idle Mode by setting new set point to 25C
send: n25<CR>
returned: ok <CR><LF>
Example – verify no longer in Idle Mode and set point is 25C:
send: s<CR>
returned: 25<CR><LF>
Command:
j (for FRONT plate, J for BACK plate)
Function:
Clear Idle Mode
Description: When the command j<CR> is received by the IC22/IC22XT unit, Idle Mode will cease and the
unit will return to the previous set point If the command is not received in the proper syntax, e<CR><LF>
will be returned.
Example – Clear Idle Mode:
send: j<CR>
returned: ok <CR><LF>
Command:
p (for FRONT plate, P for BACK plate)
Function:
Return the current Plate Temperature
Description: When the command p<CR> is received by the IC22/IC22XT unit, the current plate
temperature will be returned in a text string terminated by <CR><LF>. The format length is variable
depending on the number of digits in the plate temperature and whether the value is negative. If an
internal RTD temperature sensor or calibration error has occurred, the specific error code will be returned
as indicated in the following table. If the command is not received in the proper syntax, e<CR><LF> will
be returned.
See Command: #F or Figure 10 to reset cal points if a calibration error has occurred
Example—Return the plate temperature:
send: p<CR>
returned example 1: -10 <CR><LF>
returned example 2: 9 <CR><LF>
returned example 3: cal1 <CR><LF>
