Configure communications for the Models 2182/2182A and 622x as
explained in
"Configuring communications," page
On the Model 2182/2182A, select the desired measurement range and
integration rate. These Model 2182/2182A settings can be made from the
front panel or remote programming can be used. Rate must be set to an
integer value (1, 2, 3, ... up to 50 or 60). If some other rate is selected, it will
automatically be changed to 1PLC by Model 622x during the arming pro-
cess.
For front panel operation, use the RANGE keys to select the measurement
range. To set the integration rate, use the RATE key.
Commands from the PC to control the Model 2182/2182A are addressed to
the Model 622x. Each command is then routed through the Model 622x out
the serial port (RS-232) to the Model 2182/2182A. The following command
word is used for this communication process:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:SEND <data>
Where: <data> is a valid Model 2182/2182A command.
