Example 3:
‘*A1SP
5’
where:
* - Writing recognition character
A – Command Mode for Alarm menu (Table 2)
1 – Alarm number
SP – Command Code for set point (Table 3)
5 – Value you are setting for your setpoint
Thus, this command will tell the meter to set the setpoint in alarm 1 to 5.
Example 4:
‘?ANHI’
where:
? – Reading recognition character
AN - Analog Command Menu (Table 18)
HI – Command Code for the high display value that corresponds to the high analog output (Table
19)
Thus, this command reads the value that is stored as the display high for the analog output.
Example 5:
‘?TAR1’
where:
? – Reading recognition character
TAR – Tare Command Menu (Table 17)
1 – Tare number (corresponds to channel number)
Thus, this command requests the tare value at TARE1
The tables on the following pages highlight the programming commands necessary to interface software
with the D520 series of meters. The tables are used in the same manor as illustrated above. Find the
table that represents the menu for your specific function, decided on the necessary information from that
given in the table and create your commands.
