Calibration Commands
Command:
R
Function:
Return the High Calibration Point Temperature
Description: When the command R<CR> is received by the RIC40 unit, the temperature at which the high
calibration point was established will be returned in a text string terminated by <CR><LF>. The high
calibration point temperature format length is variable depending on the number of digits in the calibration
temperature and whether the value is negative. The value will always include a decimal point and one
character representing the fractional tenth value. If the command is not received in the proper syntax,
e<CR><LF> will be returned.
Example – Determine the high temperature calibration point:
send: R<CR>
returned: 75.0 <CR><LF> ( the RIC40 was calibrated at 75.0C)
returned: 100.0 <CR><LF> (the RIC40 has the default High Calibration Temp)
Command:
r
Function:
Return the Low Calibration Point Temperature
Description: When the command r<CR> is received by the RIC40 unit, the temperature at which the low
calibration point was established will be returned in a text string terminated by <CR><LF>. The low
calibration point temperature format length is variable depending on the number of digits in the calibration
temperature and whether the value is negative. The value will always include a decimal point and one
character representing the fractional tenth value. If the command is not received in the proper syntax,
e<CR><LF> will be returned.
Example – Determine the low temperature calibration point:
send: r<CR>
returned: 10.0 <CR><LF> ( the RIC40 was calibrated at 10.0C)
returned: -10.0 <CR><LF> (the RIC40 has the default Low Calibration Temp)
Command:
T
Function:
Return the Measured Temperature at the High Calibration Point
Description: When the command T<CR> is received by the RIC40 unit, the measured temperature when
the RIC40 was at the high calibration point temperature will be returned in a text string terminated by
<CR><LF>. The measured temperature format length is variable depending on the number of digits in
the calibration temperature and whether the value is negative. The value will always include a decimal
point and one character representing the fractional tenth value. If the command is not received in the
proper syntax, e<CR><LF> will be returned.
Example – Determine the measured temperature at the high calibration point of 75.0C:
send: T<CR>
returned: 73.2 <CR><LF> ( the plate was measured to be 73.2C when the RIC40 was set to 75.0C)
Command:
T(measured_temp)
Function:
Set the Measured Temperature at the High Calibration Point
Description: When the command T(measured_temp)<CR> is received by the RIC40 unit, measured_temp
will be stored and used with the High Calibration Point temperature to calculate calibration offsets. The
measured_temp format length is variable depending on the number of digits in the calibration temperature
and whether the value is negative. The value will always include a decimal point and one character
representing the fractional tenth value. If the command is not received in the proper syntax, e<CR><LF>
will be returned.
