P2
Pressure, Continuous, ASCII Format
The
P2
command requests continuous temperature compensated pressure readings in ASCII format. The reading
rate is controlled by the
IC, OP
and
RR
command settings. See the
DO=P
or
N
commands for the suspend
readings options. In multi-drop configuration, the
TO=C
command must be set to transmit continuous readings. See
the two response descriptions at the bottom of the
P1
command description.
Inquiry:
*dd
P2
Type:
$*ddIN
or *ddIN
To stop a single HPB from transmitting continuous pressure reading.
Type:
$*99IN or *99IN
To stop the transmission of continuous readings for all HPBs on the bus.
Note:
For muti-drop units, when the continuous transmit parameter is
NOT
active (is not set to
TO=C
), the
P2
command sends only
one
reading.
Note:
For ring network units, type a
$*ddIN
to stop this command. The $ character suspends the pressure
readings while the
*ddIN
command disables the continuous output function. For multi-drop units when
TO=C
, type a
*ddIN
to stop this command.
P3
Pressure, Single, Binary Format
The
P3
command produces a single temperature compensated pressure reading in a 6 byte binary format; a 1 byte
header character, 4 bytes encoded address and pressure data, and a <cr> character (see Section 5.6Binary Format
Replies). Refer to Table 1 for default decimal placement and significant digits.
When in a ring network configuration and this command has a group or global address (
*9d
), it is a sequential request
command and the
OP=A
or
U
all or changes only parameter controls the output. If this command is executed while a
P2, P4, T2,
or
T4
command is executing, then one ASCII pressure reading is transmitted and the continuous command
resumes operation.
The
OP
command also controls whether an integrity checksum is to be inserted between the last data byte and the
<cr> character. See
OP
command for checksum calculation.
Note:
See the two notes in
P1
command

O;
refer to Table 2 and 3.
If reply is
xx??? or
(Binary format compensated pressure reading not available yet,
xx_??
request again, or it has been disabled. The xx is the header character and the 6
most significant bits of the address.
P4
Pressure, Continuous, Binary Format
The
P4
command produces a continuous stream of temperature compensated pressure readings in a 6 byte
binary format; a 1 byte header character, 4 bytes encoded address and pressure data, and a <cr> character
(see Section 5.6Binary Format Replies). See
P3
for typical reply. See the
DO=P
or
N
commands for suspend
readings from a
P4
command. The reading rate is controlled by the
IC, OP
and
RR
command settings. See the
DO=P
or
N
commands for the suspend readings options. In multi-drop configuration, the
TO=C
command must be set to
transmit continuous readings.
The
OP
command also controls whether an integrity checksum is to be inserted between the last data byte and
the <cr> character. See
OP
command for checksum calculation.
