R7/W7 Read/write Full-Scale Range
Purpose Reads or writes the channel's "FULL SCALE MU/U" menu item
Usage
“ #aacc
R7↵” to read, “#aaccW7n↵” to write
# is the 'pound' or 'hash' character (ASCII decimal 35).
aa is the two-character instrument address. cc is the two-character channel number
n is the full-scale mV/V value.
↵ is the 'carriage return' character (ASCII decimal 13).
Example
“#0001W73.2↵”
Reply When writing: "OK" or "ERROR".
When reading: an ASCll-floating-point value.
Changing this value will change the gain of the amplifier circuit. It is recommended that a
recalibration of the transducer to the channel be performed to maintain calibration.
R8/W8 Read/write Shunt Cal Value
Purpose Reads or writes the channel's "SHUNT CRL URLUE" menu item
Usage
“ aacc
R8↵” to read, “#aaccW8n↵” to write
# is the 'pound' or 'hash' character (ASCII decimal 35).
aa is the two-character instrument address.
cc is the two-character channel number
n is the shunt calibration value in engineering units.
↵ is the 'carriage return' character (ASCII decimal 13).
Example
“#0001W8147.89↵”
Reply When writing: "OK" or "ERROR"
When reading: an ASCll-floating-point value.
Changing this value has no effect until the channel is recalibrated to the transducer with
the Shunt Calibration method.
R9/W9 Read/write Excitation Voltage Setting
Purpose Reads or writes the channel's "EXCITATION" menu item
Usage
“#aacc
R9↵” to read, “#aaccW9n↵” to write.
# is the 'pound' or 'hash' character (ASCII decimal 35).
aa is the two-character instrument address.
cc is the two-character channel number
n is the argument defined below.
↵ is the 'carriage return' character (ASCII decimal 13 ).
Argument A value of 0 means 5 volts excitation.
A value of 1 means 10 volts excitation.
Example
“#0001W90↵”
Reply When writing: "OK" or "ERROR".
When reading: an ASCll-floating-point value.
Changing this value will change the excitation voltage to the transducer. It is
recommended that a re-calibration of the transducer to the channel be performed to
maintain calibration.
RK/WK Read/write Known-Load Calibration Point
Purpose Reads or writes the channel's "KNOWN POINT x/y” menu items
Usage
“#aacc
RKpp↵” to read, “#aaccWKppn↵” to write.
# is the 'pound' or 'hash' character (ASCII decimal 35).
aa is the two-character instrument address.
cc is the two-character channel number
pp is the parameter defined below.
n is the known-load calibration point in engineering units. .
↵ is the 'carriage return' character (ASCII decimal 13).
Parameter “00" accesses the "KNOWN POINT 1/2", "KNOWN POINT 1/3" or "KNOWN POINT 1/5"
menu items.
"01" accesses the "KNOWN POINT 2/5" menu item.
"02" accesses the "KNOWN POINT 2/3" and "KNOWN POINT 3/5" menu items.
