17.5 LIST OF ALL ASCII COMMANDS

Load Measurement Commands
A = Request Load Unit
The ASCII command A requests the Force Tester "Default" load unit.
Type character A, then ENTER
This sends the configured load units, e.g. ozf, gf, lbf, kgf or N.
B = Stop Continuous Sending of Load Values
The ASCII command S is used to request a continuous transmission of load
measurement values. When the S command is requested, the CS System will transmit
load values continuously until the B command is requested.
Type character B, then ENTER
This stops the continuous sending of load values in response to the S command.
C = Request Peak Compression Load Value
The ASCII command C requests the CS Console to send the peak compression value.
Type character C, then ENTER
This sends the peak compression value.
D = Stop Continuous Sending of Load and Distance Values
The ASCII command n is used to request a continuous transmission of load
measurement values and distance measurement values. When the n command is
requested, the CS System will transmit load and distance results, with units,
continuously, until the D command is requested.
Type character D, then ENTER
This stops the continuous sending of load and distance values in response to the n
command.
G = Set Lower Load Limit
This ASCII command is used to set the lower load limit value. It is expressed as a
negative value to designate that it is the lower load limit value. The lower load limit is
used to end the test or stop the crosshead travel when this load limit value is
measured.
Type character G with a value then ENTER to specify the lower load limit setpoint.
Example:
Type G-5.000, then ENTER to specify a lower load limit setpoint of 5.000 in the
compression direction.
H = Set Upper Load Limit
This ASCII command is used to set the upper load limit value. It is expressed as a
positive value to designate that it is the upper load limit value (it is always greater
than the lower load limit value). The upper load limit is used to end the test or stop
the crosshead travel when this load limit value is measured.
Type character H with a value then ENTER to specify the lower load limit setpoint.
Example:
Type H10.000, then ENTER to specify a upper load limit setpoint of 10.000 in the
tensile direction.
