MULTIDOS RS232 Interface For your Safety 1 For your Safety − This document is a supplement to the PTW- MULTIDOS User Manual and is valid only in conjunction with that manual. − The safety statements given in both user manuals are applicable and must be ob- served.
For all communication, a strict MULTIDOS RS232 interface: ping pong principle must be observed: after sending a telegram to the MULTIDOS, the PC program must Baud rates: 4800, 9600, 19200, wait for the answer from MULTIDOS, before it may 38400 (recommended) send a new telegram.
.0 is the least significant bit Note: There will never be more than one bit set at once, since MULTIDOS checks all error sequentially. Because of that, each error condition corresponds to a discrete value of ddddd. ddddd is always equal to 00000, as long as the response to the S telegram is not SERR. SE is designed to give a more detailed information of the error type.
Brief Description 6 Brief Description Perform steps 1 to 5 in the given sequence to set up the MULTIDOS and read out measured data. Step 1: physical setup Connect the RS232 cable to the desired COM port of your personal computer. Switch the MULTIDOS on and set it manually to the desired application.

P is the password string as described in the MULTIDOS User Manual Set/Read the type of data readings on the display. Parameter x: 0 = abso- lute values, 1 = relative values (channel 2 divided by channel 1) Set/Read range settings.

If the parameter is omitted in the telegram, the actual setting is returned. For clarification parameters are printed in italic. Example: I0044 sets the interval time, I reads the actual interval time and is answered by I0044.
