To allow the host PC to communicate with a device connected to the RPM4-AD COM2
port.
"#xx"
xx: The string to send out of the RPM4-AD COM2 port. It must be less than
40 characters long.
The RPM4-AD COM2 port can be used to communicate to another RS232 device (such
as another RPM4). This allows the user to use a single COM port or IEEE-488 port on
the host computer to communicate with the RPM4-AD and another RS232 device. A
carriage return and a line feed (<CR><LF>) are added to the string.
After this program message is issued, the RPM4-AD will reply back every string received
by the RPM4-AD COM2 port that is terminated with a carriage return. Line feeds are
discarded. This will discontinue when the next query is sent to the RPM4-AD.
There is no other reply from this program message. Prior to using this program message,
you must ensure that the RPM4-AD COM2 port is correctly set up to communicate with
the device on COM2. Refer to the "COM2=" program message.
Sent: "#VER"
Reply: "DH INSTRUMENTS, INC RPM4-AD us A1000/A0015 Ver2.00 "
This example assumes that a second RPM4's COM1 port is connected to the RPM4-AD
COM2 port. This example gets the version of the second RPM4-AD.
"COM2"
3.5.2
Cancels any pending data requests by the "PR", "PRR" "RATE", "SR" or "CONT"
commands.
"ABORT"
"ABORT"
This program message is usually used to ensure the RPM4-AD is in an idle condition.
Cmd sent: "ABORT"
Reply: "ABORT" (no reply if IEEE-488)
Sent: "ABORT"
Reply: "ABORT"
"PR", "PRR" "RATE", "SR" or "CONT"
Not used in RPM4-AD models
ERR# 53: Command not available.
Reads the next measured pressure from RPM4's on-board barometer (if present).
"ATM?"
"ATM"
The atmospheric pressure as measured by the RPM4-AD on-board barometer is returned
in the current pressure units of the active Q-RPT (always absolute). This measurement is
followed by the units text.
Query sent: "ATM?"
Query reply: "97.12348 kPa a"
Sent: "ATM"
Reply: "97.12384 kPa a"
ERR# 23: RPM4-AD is not equipped with a barometer.
3.5.7.1
Read or set the ON/OFF status of the AutoZ function.
"AUTOZEROn state"
"AUTOZEROn?"
"AUTOZEROn= state"
"AUTOZEROn"
"AUTOZERO1"
"n" The active Q-RPT is assumed if no suffix is given.
'1' Specify the Hi Q-RPT if the HL RPT is not active
Specify the HL Q-RPT if the HL Q-RPT is active
'2' Specify the Lo Q-RPT if the HL Q-RPT is not active
'3' Specify the HL Q-RPT if the HL Q-RPT is active
'state': '0' Autozero OFF
'1' Autozero ON
