READ TEMPERATURE COUNTS (Command 'm')


Purpose:

Returns the most recently acquired raw temperature data for the specified
channels in averaged A/D counts (in the range -32768 to +32767). This
command is similar to command 'a', except that the raw data reflects a channel’s
temperature signal instead of its pressure signal. Each datum returned in the
response will be in the specified high-precision data format, but representing A/D
counts as a signed integer average. This command is intended for advanced
users only and is not required for normal operation.

Command

m[p]ppppf

‘m’ is the command letter
‘[p]pppp’ is the position field
f’ is the format field

Response

dddd[ dddd]...

dddd’ are datum fields, each with a leading space (except f =7).


Description: The 4 or 5 character hex position field ([p]pppp) specifies a 16 or 20 bit binary bit-

map, with each bit set to 1 to specify a particular channel number (S & P external
rack channels, plus internal channels 16-1, left-to-right).

The

1-character

format field (f) specifies the format of each data field (dddd) that

will be returned in the requested response. The first datum returned in the

response will be for the highest channel number supplied. Some formats may not

be applicable to the specific type of data being requested. Valid formats are

shown in the following table:
