Model 820 Technical Reference Manual

History Records

The various histories of the Model 820 are accessed in a simi-
lar fashion. After using a direct index to the correct record, one
can advance or back up a certain number of records to the new
value to be read.

Brackets in the syntax indicate optional characters and oper-
ands.

cr = carriage return; lf = line feed

Types of History

Denoted in syntax by history_no:
1=Exceedance (E)
2=Interval (I)
3=Daily (D)
4=Run Log (L)
5=Calibration (C)
6=Time (H)
7=Histogram Table (T)

Advance

Advance a number of records from present record number. 

If no num_record (number of records) is provided, 1 is
assumed.

Example: 

Syntax

Response

A[dvance][num_record][, history_no] cr
