disP
- sends image data from the display without conversion to ASCII.
Cont
- sends 8 bit ASCII form of display data at a rate typically 90% of the sample rate.
POLL
- controlled by computer or PLC as host. Host sends command via RS232/485 and instru-
ment responds as requested.

Instrument address for optional serial communications
Display:
Addr
Range:
0
to
31
Default Value:
0
Set unit address for polled (
POLL
) mode (
0
to
31
)) - seen only with serial output option. Refer
to the separate “PM4 Panel Meter Optional Output Addendum” booklet supplied when optional
outputs are fitted. Allows several units to operate on the same RS485 interface reporting on
different areas etc. The host computer or PLC may poll each unit in turn supplying the appropriate
address. The unit address ranges from 0 to 31 (DEC) but is offset by 32 (DEC) to avoid clashing
with ASCII special function characters (such as
<
STX
>
and
<
CR
>
). Therefore 32 (DEC) or 20
(HEX) is address 0, 42 (DEC) or 2A (HEX) is address 10.
