has been shut off due to going over range an "S" will be sent. If it is off due for any
other reason an "F" will be sent.
RESTRICTIONS WHEN USING THE "B" MODE
The "B" mode provides for a very rapid dump of data from all installed sensors
through the communications port. To do this, data is stored in RAM that is
normally used for other functions. This places the following restrictions on the
configuration of the MM200.
If there are no relay modules installed, then there are no restrictions on the
configuration except for available space.
If one relay module installed, then only seven other sensors may be installed,
space permitting.
If two relay modules are installed, then only three sensors may be installed, space
permitting.
COLD CATHODE
"AC<cr>"
1. Go to the automatic mode. This causes the cold cathode to be controlled by a
thermocouple or convection type gauge. If the cold cathode gauge has an odd
station number, it will be controlled by the thermocouple or convection type gauge
with the lowest station number. This is the default setting when power is applied.
If the cold cathode gauge has an even station number, it will be controlled by the
thermocouple or convection type gauge with the second lowest station number.
By control, is meant that the high voltage will go off and the station will use default
outputs if the pressure at the controlling gauge exceeds a certain pressure. That
pressure is 20 microns if either a 7E or 3D is installed, otherwise the control
pressure is 10 microns.
"EC<cr>"
2. Turn cold cathode gauges ON. This command causes all cold cathode gauges
to be ON regardless of pressure at any of the other gauges.
"NC<cr>"
3. Turn cold cathode gauges OFF. This command causes all cold cathode gauges
to be "OFF" until some future command changes the allows them to operate again.
