12. Change the stations being displayed on the front panel.
This function can be overridden by a local operator. The commands are "DLx<cr>" to
control the left hand display, the "DRx<cr>" to control the right hand display. "x" is the
number of the station to be displayed. The response to this command is an "A" followed by
a "<cr>".
13. Have the Modular unit perform self-diagnostics, and report the results.
The command for this is "DI<cr>". The typical form of the response is "P15L N12H...",
where "P15L" means that the plus fifteen volt supply is low, and "N12H" means that the
negative twelve volt supply is high (absolute). If there are not faults, the response if "NO-
ERR".
14. Initiate Leak Rate testing.
The command for this is "LR<cr>" The results are the same as pressing the front panel
"leak rate" pushbutton. Whenever this command is issued, the leak rate test starts at time
“zero". This command can be used for resetting the test to time "zero", if the test is already
in progress. The front panel responds the same as if the front panel push button had been
pressed, that is, the right hand display shows the leak rate values. The response to this
command is an "A" to acknowledge receipt followed by a "<cr>". Leak rate tests always
use station #1 as the sensor.
15. Periodically obtain Leak Rate readings.
This command "RL<cr>" causes the modular unit to periodically output the leak rate
reading. The data is in the form of four digits, which include any lead zeros, followed by a
carriage return like "0015<cr>". The four digits give the leak rate in microns per hour (the
same as displayed on the front panel). The data is outputted once every second
(regardless of the setup of the modular unit. The initial response to this command is an "A"
followed by a "<cr>".
16. End Leak Rate data output.
This command "ED<cr>" halts the output of leak rate data to the RS232 interface, but does
not stop the leak rate test. It can be used when it is desired to momentarily interrupt the
data flow, without interrupting the test itself, so that other commands could be exercised.
The front panel continues to display the leak rate test results (updated once each second.
The response to this command is an "A" followed by a "<cr>".
17. End the leak rate test.
This command "EL<cr>" causes the leak rate test to cease, the same as the front panel
push button would do if pressed while the leak rate test is in progress. The response to
this command is an "A" followed by a "<cr>".
