FUTEK IPM500 (D500) Digital Display - Manual (Page 24)

These basic Command formats are used when the Remote Display Counter is in display modes
0 - 6. The basic Data formats are the same except *#C is omitted. The basic Data formats are
used in display mode 7.
Single or multiple (2-4) Data formats are used in display modes 8-11. Example:
SDDDDDD.SDDDDDD.SDDDDDD.SDDDDDD.A
optional, “Ser 3” “Digit 5” = 0, termination characters only at end of data string or
SDDDDDD.SDDDDDD.SDDDDDD.SDDDDDD.A
“Ser 3” “Digit 5” = 1, termination characters at end of each data item.
8.6 RECOGNITION CHARACTER, AND START AND STOP CHARACTERS
The meter recognizes an asterisk ( * ) as the command recognition character. In the counter,
another command recognition character may be chosen to make the meter compatible with an
existing system. The meter will still respond to an asterisk. For all meters, in continuous mode,
a device ,such as a printer, may require a start and stop bit to recognize the data string being
sent. Normally there is no start bit and the stop bit is a carriage return . When the Counter
is in a normal operating mode (not Remote Display), SER 3, XDXXX can be set for the following
combinations:
Continuous Readings
D Command Recognition Character
Start Character Stop Character

Either Instrument Setup.exe or Serial.exe may be used to set the Command recognition
character and the start stop characters. These programs may be downloaded from our website.
