Remote Operation
TERM?
Terminator
Query.
Input:
TERM?
Returned:
Returns the current terminating character type:
0
= Carriage return and line feed (CR)(LF
EOI
)
1
= Line feed and carriage return (LF)(CR
EOI
)
2
= Line feed (LF
EOI
)
3
= No terminating characters – EOI line set with last data byte if enabled (End)
Remarks:
This command works only with the IEEE-488 Interface.
4.3.4 Display
Commands
Display commands allow the interface to act as a virtual display. Transfer display data, as well as format.
CCHN
Set Control Channel to A or B.
Input:
CCHN A
, or
CCHN B
Returned:
Nothing
Remarks:
Sets control channel to sensor A or B. Do not combine channel, control unit, and setpoint
changes. Allow one controller update cycle (½ second) between these commands so the
Model 330 interprets them correctly.
Example:
CCHN A[term]
changes the control channel to A.
CCHN?
Control Channel Query.
Input:
CCHN?
Returned:
A
or
B
Remarks:
Returns the current control channel setting:
A
= channel A,
B
= channel B.
CDAT?
Control Sensor Data Query.
Input:
CDAT?
Returned:
±000.00
Remarks:
Returns control sensor data. A free field is active here. The value returned is 7 characters: a
sign, 5 digits and a decimal point. The last digit may be a null.
Example:
+1.2345[term]
Typical response for a voltage query.
-123.40[term]
Typical response for a degrees Celsius query.
+234.50[term]
Typical response for a kelvin or degrees Celsius query.
CUNI
Set Units for the Control Channel.
Input:
CUNI K
,
CUNI C
, or
CUNI S
Returned:
Nothing
Remarks:
Set control channel units: K = kelvin, C = Celsius, S = appropriate sensor units (volts, ohms,
or millivolts).
Example:
If operating in kelvin with a Model 330-01,
CUNI S[term]
makes the units volts – the sensor
units for a diode sensor. The Model 330-02 platinum controller has sensor units of ohms, and
the Model 330-04 thermocouple controller has sensor units of millivolts.
CUNI?
Control Units Query.
Input:
CUNI?
Returned:
K
,
C
,
V
,
R
,
or
M
Remarks:
Current control units setting: K = kelvin, C = Celsius, V = volts, R = Ohms, M = millivolts.
