Syntax: CENTRE or CENTER MONITOR

Centres the sensor mass(es) of the instrument.

CENTRE returns immediately, whilst CENTRE MONITOR monitors the

progress of the unlock by displaying mass positions, as for LOCK
MONITOR (above).

When the masses are correctly centred, the mass positions should read

less than ±1000 counts.

5.7.2 %AUTO-CENTRE

Syntax: distance %AUTO-CENTRE

Instructs the CD24 to perform a round of centring whenever a mass

position drifts further than distance from zero. distance is
measured as a percentage of full scale.

Setting distance to zero disables automatic centring.

5.7.3 RESP

Syntax: value RESP

The CD24 provides a 1 second response mode for use when
monitoring mass positions or adjusting offsets. To enter this mode,

issue the command 1 RESP.

Once you have finished monitoring the mass positions, you can return
to broadband response mode by issuing 0 RESP.
