MODE 2: DPM with Signal Conditioner Card and in Remote Display Mode
SETUP (left digit) = 1 Remote Display mode
The baud rate must be set the same as the source which may be a PC Controller or another
DPM. The format is the Slave Format. This is the same as MODE 1 above but without the
Command Identifier “*”, the address #, and the Command letter “H”. This is the same format
that data is transmitted from a DPM in the Continuous mode. The string of characters must be
exactly 8 characters plus the CR in length.
SDDDDD.A
No commands can be received in this mode but the front panel MENU can be accessed. Any
transmissions received other than properly formatted data will result in a meaningless display.
Alarm setpoints, Peak readings and external control functions are disabled while the Remote
Display value is being displayed. When the DPM is Reset, it displays RESET continuously until
data is received.
