Command

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.
