Runtime Queries
Runtime queries can be used to read the value of real-time measurements at any time
during the controller operation. Real-time queries are very short commands that start with
“?” followed by one to three letters. In some instances, queries can be sent with or with-
out a numerical parameter.
Without parameter, the controller will reply with the values of all channels. When a numer-
ical parameter is sent, the controller will respond with the value of the channel selected
by that parameter.
Example:
Q:?T
R: T=20:30:40
Q: ?T2
R: T=30
All queries are stored in a history buffer that can be made to automatically recall the
past 16 queries at a user-selectable time interval. See “Query History Commands” on
page 271.
Routine queries can be sent from within a MicroBasic Script using the getvalue() function.
