Measurement Computing TempScan/1100 - Manual (Page 253)

TempScan / MultiScan User’s Manual 889897 API Command Reference A-57
• U15 : Query the product information. This request responds with the current TempScan/1100 or
MultiScan/1200 product information including version levels.
• U16 : Query the measuring mode parameters (MultiScan/1200 only). For the MultiScan/1200 only, this
request is equivalent to the following string of measuring mode queries: M#?F#?W#? Consequently, this
request responds with the following measuring mode data in their respective forms:
M#mode F#freq W#wt
•
U17 : Query the Root Mean Square (RMS) value (MultiScan/1200 only). For the MultiScan/1200 only, this
request responds with the Root Mean Square (RMS) value computed from the last-completed acquisition in
single-channel high-speed burst mode. For more information, see section Measuring Modes
(MultiScan/1200 Only) in the chapter System Configuration.
•
U18 : Query the acquisition states and various system flags. This request responds with an integer nnn of
the form 000
≤≤≤≤ nnn ≤≤≤≤ 255 , where the separate values are as follows, and multiple values are summed.
The U18 Bits 7 through 4 respond with the following individual values:
128 - Acquisition Block Available (Bit 7) 032 - Not used.
064 - Power up under default configuration
(Bit 6). Otherwise, power up under the
last configuration.
016 - Scan Alarm Stamping Enabled (Bit 4)
Meanwhile, the U18 Bits 3 and 2 respond with the following combined values:
012 - Not used. 004 - Absolute Scan Time Stamping Enabled
(Bit 2 only)
008 - Relative Scan Time Stamping
Enabled (Bit 3 only)
000 - Scan Time Stamping Not Enabled
(Neither Bits 3 nor 2)
Lastly, the U18 Bits 1 and 0 respond with the following combined values:
003 - Acquiring Post-Stop Scan Data
(Both Bits 1 and 0)
001 - Armed – Acquisition is armed and may be
acquiring Pre-Trigger Scan Data (Bit 0 only)
002 - Acquiring Post-Trigger Scan Data
(Bit 1 only)
000 - Idle – No acquisition is armed or acquiring any
scan data (Neither Bit 1 nor Bit 0)
Note: Except for calibration errors, any other error conditions are cleared after the status string is read by the
controller. Meanwhile, calibration errors are cleared when the unit is calibrated.
Note: Status strings are returned when the unit is next addressed to TALK. If the unit is configured to Trigger on
TALK, requesting a status report will not cause the unit to trigger.
