Specifications Pressure Conversions Pressure conversion factors will vary, and be dependent on the JOFRA device connected to the APM. Refer to the documentation for your particular JOFRA device for its specifications. Media Compatibility Liquids and gases compatible with sensor and CPF fitting system. Wrench-tight .
Communications Communications The APM interface uses a command – query – response protocol. Using this protocol the user can access the pressure measured by the module, as well as control and monitor the status of all the essential functions of the module. ...

Communications Command Processing The data entered into the module is processed as follows: • Data is taken as 7-bit ASCII. • Characters are discarded if their decimal equivalent is less than 32 (space), except 10 (LF) and 13 (CR). •...
Communications In order to avoid interruptions in the command execution process: • Turn on software ( XOFF ) flow control on the PC side. • Avoid long command lines (lines more than 96 characters). • Send the *CLR command before starting the communication procedure. •...

Clears the error queue. Also terminates all pending operations. When writing programs, use before each procedure to avoid buffer overflow. *IDN? Returns the manufacturer, model number, and firmware revision of the APM. For example, *IDN? will return AMETEK, APM 0, 1.00 Module Commands DAMP Enables a damping filter on the readings returned by the VAL? command.
