RS-232 Programming Syntax
The RapidVap only responds to commands sent by the
connected computer or terminal – it does not send out
commands on its own. The programming syntax has
two forms:
1. # [command abbreviation letter] [value]; when
the command requires a numeric value.
2. # [command abbreviation letter ]; when the
command does not require a numeric value.
When the programming syntax contains a numeric
value, it will change the operation of the RapidVap.
When the programming syntax does not contain a
numeric value, the RapidVap will respond with its
current status for that command value.
Note that the lead-in character is “#” while the “[ ]”
(brackets) are shown only to separate parameters for
ease of understanding. These brackets will not be used
in the actual ASCII command string. Finally, the “;” is
used to indicate the end of a command. Also note that
‘\n’ indicates a newline character.
#R[x]; x=0 for stop, x=1 for run and x=2 for pre-heat, will get a
x’\n’ response for confirmation; when a “#R;” with no “[x]”
is sent, the RapidVap will respond 0, 1 or 2
#S[xxx]; Selects the vortex speed of program 9 from 0% or 12% to
100%, will get a xxx;yyy’\n’ response for confirmation.
(xxx:speed setpoint, yyy:actual speed)
#T[xxx]; Selects the HEAT TEMPERATURE SET POINT of
program 9 from 30 to 100 (C), will get a xxx;yyy’\n’
response for confirmation. (xxx:temperature setpoint,
yyy:actual temperature); by entering “#T0;”, the heat will
be set to OFF
#t[xxxx] Selects the TIME SET POINT of program 9 from 1 to 999
minutes, and 1000 for no stopping (will run continuously),
will get a xxxx;yyyy’\n’ response for confirmation.
(xxxx:time setpoint, yyyy:time left)
#V[xxxx]; Selects the VACUUM SET POINT (if the RapidVap is a
Vacuum model) of program 9 from 1 to 1000 mBar, will get
a xxxx;yyyy’\n’ response for confirmation. (xxxx:vacuum
setpoint, yyyy:actual vacuum)
