shown with their mnemonic equivalents listed above. In real use,
these abbreviations would be actual numerical values. These nu-
merical values must be valid for the con
fi
guration being programmed
remotely since the Auto-Controller does not know the maximum
ranges of the units attached. The target values returned include the
Gas Channels, Discharge voltage and current, Emission/Bias volt-
age and current, and the Keeper voltage and current.
In using the ALL parameter to set targets, the list of values must be
comma delimited and appear in the order shown. Any value that
is to remain unchanged can be omitted, but the comma delimiter
between parameters must be included in the input string. In the
second example, DSI and BSV remain unchanged in the target pro-
gram.
Example: P1:ALL GS1, GS2, GS3, GS4, DSV, DSI, BEI, BSV,
KPI<cr><lf>
Example: P1:ALL GS1, GS2, GS3, GS4, ,DSV,, BEI,, KPI<cr><lf>
When using the ALL command in ‘Terse’ mode to get all the program
values, they will be returned as a comma delimited string of values
in the same order as those shown above. The decimal points and
the number of decimal places are shown in the example below.
Example: P1:ALL?<cr><lf>
Example Response:
“10.000, 0.000, 0.000, 10.000, 200.000, 3.000, 3.000, 120.000,
1.500”.
When using the ALL command in ‘Verbose’ mode, a list including
the name of the value, and the actual numerical value will be re-
turned. A line feed <lf> will separate the returned values.
Example: P1:ALL?<cr><lf>
Example response:
“Gas Channel 1 = 10.000
Gas Channel 2 = 0.000
Gas Channel 3 = 0.000
