Table C-2
Electrostatic Classifier Firmware Commands List (select)
Command Title Description
RMDETERRORS Read Detector
Errors
RMDETERRORS returns the detector errors.
Example: RMDETERRORS returns a 32 bit integer. If the bit is set, there
is an error.
Bits Description
0 Absolute pressure
1 Water separator temperature
2 Saturator temperature
3 Condenser temperature
4 Optics temperature
5 Growth tube temperature
6 Inlet flow rate
7 Aerosol flow rate
8 Laser current
9 Liquid level
10 Concentration
11 Inlet temperature
12 Vacuum level
13
Pulse height
14
Photometric mode
15 Nozzle pressure
RMSCANDATA Read SMPS
Counts/Deadtime
During Scan RMSCANDATA reads the SMPS counts and deadtime during scan.
Example: RMSCANDATA returns a string yyyy/mm/dd
hh:mm:ss,df,cf,pol,ndata,eos where yyyy = year, mm = month, dd = day,
hh = hour, mm = minutes, ss = seconds, df = detector error, cf =
classifier error, pol = polarity, ndata = number of data points following
this header, eos = end of scan flag
Data point format is ParticleCounts,Deadtime in microseconds
RMIMPFLOW Read Impactor
Flow RMIMPFLOW reads flow rate as measured by the dP sensor across the
impactor. Only valid if 3082-compatible impactor is installed.
Write Commands
WDTIME Write Time Sets the time using the format hh:mm:ss
Example: WDTIME 15:01:00 sets the time to 3:01 pm and returns OK
WDDATE Write Date Sets the date using the format mm/dd/yyyy
Example: WDDATE 07122013 sets the date to July 12
th
, 2013 and
returns OK
WSHVPOL Write High
Voltage Polarity WSHVPOL sets the high voltage polarity.
Example: WSHVPOL returns the values 0 or 1, where 0 = negative
voltage, and 1 = positive voltage
WSSHFLOW Write Sheath
Voltage Setpoint WSSHFLOW Sets the sheath flow rate in L/m.
Example: WSSHFLOW returns a value in the range 0.0 to 30.0 in L/min
WSHV Write high
voltage WSHV Sets the DMA high voltage in volts.
Example: WSHV returns values in the range 0.0 to 10000.0 L/min
WSDETINFLOW Write Detector
Inlet Flow WSDETINFLOW Sets the detector flow rate to low or high.
Example: WSDETINFLOW returns values where 0 = low flow and 1 =
high flow.
WSTUBELENGTH Write Tube
Length Between
Classifier and
detector WSTUBELENGTH sets the tube length from 0.1 to 100 centimeters
Example: WSTUBELENGTH 25 sets the length to 25 centimeters
