Syntax
Description
J
Calibrate Cold Junction
Offset
Jchan,
type,
temp
Calibrate the cold-junction offsets for cold-junction
compensation of the thermocouple signals where
chan
is
the channel number such that
1
<
chan
<
max
, where
max
=
992
for the TempScan/1100 and
max
=
744
for the
MultiScan/1200.
type
is the thermocouple channel type.
temp
is the reference temperature currently being applied to
the selected channel, with the form
nnn.n
in degrees º C.
Kkey
Enter Calibration Mode if the keyword (or password) is correct,
where
key
is the keyword in the form of a 5-digit number
nnnnn
. Therefore the password can be no longer than 5
characters.
K
Enter Calibration Mode
K?
Query
Kkey
as defined above.
Lchan,
level,
hyst
Sets the level against which the testing of channel readings
should be performed where
chan
is the channel number
such that
1
<
chan
<
max
, where
max
=
992
for the
TempScan/1100 and
max
=
744
for the MultiScan/1200.
level
is the level against which the readings are tested to
determine if the level has been exceeded.
hyst
is the hysteresis level.
L
Set Trigger Level
L?
Query the current level settings
L#
Set Scan Rate
(TempScan/1100
only)
L#rate
Specify whether to select the optional slow scan rate or to
select the default fast scan. Valid options for
rate
are:
0
-
Select fast scan rate (default), and
1
- Select slow scan rate.
Mmask
Use the IEEE 488 Service Request (
SRQ
) mechanism to
inform the IEEE 488 bus controller of certain conditions,
where
mask
is in the form of the number
nnn
such that
000
<
nnn
<
255
is summed from the following conditions:
128
- SRQ on Buffer Overrun.
032
- SRQ on Event Detected.
016
- SRQ on Message Available (MAV).
008
- SRQ on Scan Available.
004
- SRQ on Ready.
002
- SRQ on Trigger Event.
001
- SRQ on Alarm.
000
– Clear SRQ Mask.
M
Set SRQ Mask
M?
Query the SRQ mask.
M#
Set Measuring Mode
(MultiScan/1200
only)
M#mode
Specify measuring mode. Valid options for
mode
are:
0
-
Line-cycle integration / high-speed multi-channel mode, and
1
- Single-channel high-speed burst mode.
Nmask
Directly sets the Event Status Enable Register (
ESE
) where
mask
is in the form of the number
nnn
such that
000
<
nnn
<
255
is summed from the following conditions:
128
– ESB on Power On
064
– ESB on Buffer 75% Full
032
– ESB on Command Error
016
– ESB on Execution Error
008
– ESB on Device Dependent Error
004
– ESB on Query Error
002
– ESB on Stop Event
001
– ESB on Acquisition complete
000
– ESB on Clear Event Mask
N
Set Event Mask
N?
Query the Event mask.
