Remote Operation
<range>
Specifies the input range (refer to Paragraph 5.1.4). This parameter has a
predetermined value based on
<type>
. If this parameter is supplied,
<type>
changes to
0
(Special). Valid entries are (given in volts):
1
- 1 mV
4
- 10 mV
7
- 100 mV
10
- 1 V
13
- 7.5 V
2
- 2.5 mV
5
- 25 mV
8
- 250 mV
11
- 2.5 V
3
- 5 mV
6
- 50 mV
9
- 500 mV
12
- 5 V
Example: INTYPE A, 2[term] -
Sets Input A sensor type to GaAlAs diode.
INTYPE B, 3, , , 7[term] -
Sets Input B sensor type to Platinum 100, but use a 30 µV
excitation. Input B now responds as a Special.
INTYPE?
Query Input Type Parameters
Input: INTYPE?
<input>
Returned: <type>, <units>, <coefficient>, <excitation>, <range>
.
Format:
n,n,n,nn,nn[term]
Remarks:
Returns input type parameters. See the
INTYPE
command for parameter descriptions.
<input>
Specifies which input to query.
KEYST?
Query Keypad Status
Input: KEYST?
Returned: <keypad status>
.
Format:
n[term]
Remarks:
Returns keypad status since the last
KEYST?
.
1
= key pressed,
0
= no key pressed.
KEYST?
returns
1
after initial power-up.
KRDG?
Query Kelvin Reading for an Input
Input: KRDG?
<input>
Returned: <kelvin value>
.
Format:
±
nnn.nnnE
±
n[term]
Remarks:
Returns the kelvin reading for an input.
<input>
specifies which input to query.
LDAT?
Query Linear Equation Data for an Input
Input: LDAT?
<input>
Returned: <linear value>
.
Format:
±
nnn.nnnE
±
n[term]
Remarks:
Returns the linear equation data for an input.
<input>
specifies which input to query.
LDATST?
Query Linear Equation Data Status for an Input
Input: LDATST?
<input>
Returned:
A bit weighted integer from 0 - 255. Format:
nnn[term]
Remarks:
The integer returned represents the sum of the bit weighting of the input linear equation data
status flag bits.
<input>
specifies which input to query. See
RDGST?
Command.
LINEAR
Configure Input Linear Equation Parameters
Input:
LINEAR <input>, [<equation >], [<varM value>], [<X source>], [<B source>], [<varB
value>]
Returned:
Nothing
Remarks:
Configures the linear equation for an input.
<input>
Specifies input to configure.
<equation>
Specifies linear equation to use.
Valid
entries:
1
= (y = mx + b),
2 =
(y = m(x + b)).
<varM value>
Specifies a value for m in the equation.
<X source >
Specifies input data to use. Valid entries:
1
= kelvin,
2
= Celsius,
3
= sensor units.
<B source >
Specifies what to use for b in the equation. To use a setpoint, set its units to
the same type specified in
<X source>
. Valid entries:
1
= a value,
2
= +SP1,
3
= –SP1,
4
= +SP2,
5
= –SP2.
<varB value>
Specifies a value for b in the equation if
<B source>
is 1.
Example: LINEAR A, 1, 1.0, 1, 3[term] -
The linear data for Input A is calculated from the kelvin
reading of the input using the equation: y = 1.0 * × –SP1.
