Sending Targets
Targets are set with the “TR:L” message and take effect immediately after they are received. The TR:L
message can be used to set any of the target parameters that a user might set via the tool’s menu system,
facilitating torque only, torque and angle, torque, angle and final torque, and audit mode targets. This section
describes how to use them to set each of the different target types.
Sending a Torque (only) Target
Command
TR:L:
= Accept this target & switch to it
UNT0
= Units (0 = N·m, 1 = dN·m, 2 = cN·m, 3 = kgf·m, 4 = kgf·cm, 5 = gf·m,
6 = lbf·ft, 7 = lbf·in, 8 = ft·lb, 9 = in·lb, 10 = oz·fin, 11 = in·oz
(in this case N·m)
SNG0
= Snug Torque value (in this case, 0)
Not Enabled
ANG0
= Angle Target (degrees – in this case, 0)
Not Enabled
TRQ234.5
= Final Torque Target (in this case, 234.5)
ADT0
= Audit mode (0= disabled, 1= enabled)
Not Enabled
NUM3
= Number of Readings for the Target (in this case 3)

Example
NOTE: The tool will clamp torque targets within a range spanning the tool’s current Active From
limit up to the tool’s max capacity. Check the response message to ensure the target you
requested was actually set!
