5.2.4 Status messages
To ensure appropriate control of an external control unit is possible, it
must also be possible to request status conditions which provide in-
formation on the status of the 766 IC Sample Processor. The output of a
status message is triggered by the trigger '$D'. Status messages con-
sist of the global status, the detailed status and eventual error mes-
sages. The global status informs on the activity of the process, while
the detailed status conditions show the exact activity within the proc-
ess.
The following global status conditions are possible:
$G Go The IC Sample Processor is executing the last
command.
$H Hold The IC Sample Processor has been held ($H,
<HOLD> key, or by an error which effects the hold
status).
$C Continue The IC Sample Processor has been restarted ac-
tively after hold.
$S Stop A process has been aborted, e.g. by pressing the
<STOP> key or because there was an error.
$R Ready The IC Sample Processor has executed the last
command and is ready.
Detailed status conditions
Status conditions of the global $R:
$R.Mode Basic state: ready to start automatic processing
$R.Assembly An assembly step has been executed.
Status conditions of the global $G:
$G.Mode.Start. Instrument at the beginning of processing
$G.Mode.Start.01.WAIT Instrument processing the start sequence, dis-
plays line number and current command
$G.Mode.Sample.01.WAIT Instrument processing the sample sequence,
displays line number and current command
$G.Mode.Final.01.WAIT Instrument processing the final sequence, dis-
plays line number and current command
$G.Mode. Instrument processing a manual command
$G.Assembly. Instrument processing an assembly command
Status conditions of the global $H:
$H.Mode The status conditions of the global $H are identical with the
ones of the global $G.
