Digital Pressure Gauge CPG2400 Series 7. Remote Operation 7.1 General The CPG2400 can be operated from a remote computer which communicates over an RS-232 (standard) or RS-485 serial port. The serial port can be used to configure and calibrate the CPG2400, or to read the output of its sensors. This section of the manual provides information on the serial port configuration, explains the command conven- tions used in this manual, and lists the common commands and queries which are recognized by the CPG2400.
Digital Pressure Gauge CPG2400 Series 7.2.1 Password Protection Certain commands require a password to be sent before a setting is changed. The password is only effective for the next command, so the password must be sent immediately before any password protected command string. The password string is the password set in the CPG2400.

Digital Pressure Gauge CPG2400 Series 8. Calibration The CPG2400 automatically adjusts the pressure readings for the effects of temperature within the calibrated range (see Section 4, Specifications). Thus, a calibrated CPG2400 operated within its temperature band, and with proper zero and span settings, will pro- vide accurate pressure measurements.
