14.6 Command Set / Gauge Control Language 2 (GCL2)
The 7i may be controlled by an external device through the RS-232 or USB channels. The following is a
list of supported commands and their explanations. All commands must be terminated with a Carriage
Return character or with a Carriage Return/Line Feed combination. The indicator responses are always
terminated with a Carriage Return/Line Feed.
Request Readings
? Request the displayed reading (dependant on operating mode)
?C Request the current (real time) reading
?CW Request the peak clockwise reading
?CCW Request the peak counter-clockwise reading
?PT Request the peak tension reading (corresponds to static COF)
?PC Request the peak compression reading
?ET Request the reading obtained during the External trigger mode
?A Request the average reading obtained during the Average mode
(corresponds to kinetic COF)
