GSIOC Control Appendix B
Immediate j Read Contact Output Buffers
Response format: “abcde” where
a is the OUT #1 buffer,
b is the OUT #2 buffer,
c is the OUT #3 buffer,
d is the HIGH pressure limit buffer,
e is the LOW pressure limit buffer.
For each input:
“C” if closed and connected to software,
“c” if closed and disconnected from software,
“D” if open and connected to software,
“d” if open and disconnected from software.
Response example: “DDDDD” for all relays open and outputs connected
to the internal software.
Buffered K Input Remote Keystrokes
Syntax: Kcodes, up to 30 codes per command.
Parameters: ASCII codes, as follows:
Command example: “Kdea 1 Ee” to start
flowing 1 mL/min.
GSIOC Commands
Immediate K Read Key Entry
Response format: “x..xx”, where
x..xx is an ASCII string, 1 up to 7 characters long, encoding the keys
pressed. See table above.
Response example: “1Ee”.
Comment: if no key pressed, or if the keyboard has not been locked by
buffered K or L commands, the null ASCII character is returned.
Reading clears the buffer.
Immediate L Request Manometric Module Identification
Response format: 4-character alphanumeric string.
Response example: “M805”.
Comment: if no manometric module present, “None” is returned.
Buffered P Pulse Contact Outputs
Syntax: Pnt
Parameter: n is the output number (1-3) and t is the pulse duration in
tenths of a second (0-32767). If t is omitted, the last entered time is used. If
t equals zero, the pulse is ignored. The previous pulse will also be ignored
if t = zero.
Command example: “P210” to pulse OUT #2 for 1 second.
Comment: the pulse consists of reversing the output state for the time
specified. The default duration after switching the power ON or after a master
reset is 0.6 second. This pulse duration is used by the bufferd J command.
