X= Slope 1 User Compensation Control
The user can adjust the pressure vs. output curve using the
X=
, and
Z=
commands. The
X=
command adjusts the
slope of the pressure output curve for positive pressures. The range of adjustment is ±0.6%FS in 0.005% increments.
Use the modified full scale value if the
F=
command is set. If there is an input error, then the command error flag in
the
RS
command will be set and no change will occur. See Section 4.4 for command illustration. (Default:
X=0
)

This number adjusts the pressure reading by multiplying it by 0.005% and scaling
the slope of the pressure reading before output.
Pressure Output = [1 + (pp x 0.00005)] x Pressure Reading
Z=
OffsetUser Compensation Control
The user can adjust the pressure vs. output curve using the
X=
and
Z=
commands. The
Z=
command adjusts the
offset of the pressure output curve. The range of adjustment is ±0.6%FS in 0.005% increments. Use the customized
full scale value (
F=
) as a multiplier.
If there is an input error, then the command error flag in the
RS
command will be set and no change will occur.

0 to ±120
This number adjusts the pressure reading by adding (pp x 0.005% FS) to the
reading before outputting.
Pressure Output = [(pp x 0.00005) x (
M=
full scale)] + Pressure Reading
CAL
Sets the zero pressure condition to zero output. Offset is calculated and stored, then applied to
all readings thereafter. Set
Z=0
to cancel. The range of correction for the
CAL
command is the
same as
pp
described above. If the correction is out of range, then the the
Z=
parameter will be
set to a maximum value (+120 or -120).
Note:
When the
Z=CAL
command is executed and there is a deadband (
DS
) set, the output may not read zero
when it actually is. To read zero pressure, turn the deadband off (
DS=0
).
$
Suspend Continuous Readings
This is not actually a command but a special command header character. During a continuous pressure reading
command,
P2
or
P4
in ring configuration, a
$
by itself will temporarily stop, or suspend, transmission. Pressure
readings will continue to be taken at the configured rate but will not be transmitted on the digital outputs. This allows
for manual entry of a command when continuous readings are filling the display. Pressure reading transmission
will resume when the <cr> carriage return (ENTER key) is pressed.
Note:
Under some conditions it is possible to enter a command that will not cause continuous readings to resume
after entering the <cr> character, in which case a second <cr> will cause the continuous readings to resume.
Example:
*dd
P2
(Start continuous pressure readings)
$*dd
V=
(Suspend continuous pressure readings to read version number)
(Resume continuous pressure reading after the
V=
reply)
