SR
Azimuth Tracker Steps Per Revolution
SR initiates a test that determines the number of motor steps required for one complete
revolution (360°) of the Azimuth Tracker.
The tracker is first zeroed in the counter clockwise direction, and a discrepancy between
where the software thought it was, and where the zero reference was found, is output. The
Tracker is then moved a full revolution clockwise and the total number of steps required for
this movement is output, and the operator is given an opportunity to save the new value. A
progressive change of value over time may suggest that Tracker maintenance is required.
See Appendix F.
Tracker maintenance is covered in Section 5.
SS
Direct Sun UV Scan
SS results in the Brewer performing a UV scan of the sun through the quartz window. The
scan is in 0.5nm steps over the range 290nm to 363nm.
Data is stored in a SSJJJYY.nnn file.
No response file is available for this mode of UV scanning.
See also Appendix A.
ST
Status and Control
ST permits the operator to switch the Brewer's internal lamps off and on, and to control all
Brewer stepper motors except the Slit Mask Motor.
SUM Summary Data File
SUM reads the daily raw data (BJJJYY.nnn) file and generates a new (SJJJYY.nnn) file
which contains only data summary information. In addition, Umkehr data is processed and
put into a separate (UJJJYY.nnn) file.
The SUM command, and the various summary printout commands are generally performed
at local midnight as part of the ED command.
TE
Temperature Printout
TE results in the Brewer temperature (Thermistor #1) in degrees Celsius, along with its
equivalent (0 to 5.00v) voltage, to be printed.
If the Brewer has a moisture sensor option, the moisture (in grams/m
displayed.
See also Appendix A for the average file.
TI
Time Set
TI allows the operator to set the internal clock of the Brewer, provided the clock option is
turned on in the instrument configuration File. Brewer time is GMT or CUT and is entered as
a six digit string (hhmmss). If the internal clock has been turned off in software, there will be
an "E" (external) displayed on the computer screen, and the operator will be given the
opportunity to turn the internal clock back on. An "I" is displayed on the screen if the system
is using the Brewer's internal clock.
TT
TeleType Communications
TT sets the Brewer program to its teletype mode, whereby the operator may communicate
directly with the Brewer via the computer keyboard and a set of low level commands.
Exit from teletype mode with the home key. Ctrl-x will allow you to retype a line.
See Appendix H for more explanation on the TeleType feature.
