Level and Usage Queries
•
{CH1|CH2}:FILL:INHibit {0|1} or {NO|YES}
For normal mode only: Selects whether the remote contact sense is used to
inhibit the initiation of a auto-fill cycle. An argument of “0” or “NO” selects
no fill inhibit function (i.e. any remote contact sense is ignored). An
argument of “1” or “YES” activates the fill inhibit function based on the
remote contact sense for the respective channel.
If “YES” is selected, an open circuit at the appropriate contact sense input
will inhibit initiation of an auto-fill cycle and end any auto-fill cycle
currently in progress.
•
{CH1|CH2}:FILL:INHibit?
Returns the fill inhibit setting for the specified channel.
0, ”NONE” is returned if no fill inhibit is selected.
1, ”CONTACT” is returned if an open remote contact sense is to be used to
inhibit an auto-fill cycle from initiating.
5.4.6 Assignment Commands and Queries
The follow commands and queries set and return the rear-panel sensor
input assignment for a selected channel and determine if the HI and LO
alarm contacts are used for Channels 1 & 2, or Channels 3 & 4.
•
{CH1|CH2|CH3|CH4}:ASN {A|B|C|D|-}
Assigns a rear panel sensor input to the selected channel. The same sensor
input may be assigned to multiple channels. The “
- ” value sets the input to
null, and no measurements are performed for the channel.
•
{CH1|CH2|CH3|CH4}:ASN?
Returns the input assignment for the selected channel. The return value is
a single character:
A , B , C , D , or - . A return value of “ - ” indicates a null
input assignment (no measurement).
•
CONTACTS {0|1}
A value “0” assigns the HI and LO alarm contacts of J5A and J5B to
Channels 1 and 2, respectively. A value of “1” assigns the alarms contacts
to Channels 3 and 4.
•
CONTACTS?
Returns a value of “0”, indicating the alarm contacts are assigned to
Channels 1; or a value of “1”, indicating the alarm contacts are assigned to
Channels 3 and 4.
