7.5.7 PT Read Temperature

This command is used to read the specified probe temperature. The format of the command is:

PTn<CR><LF>

where n is the number (0, 1 or 2) of the probe to be read. Probe 2 is only available if enabled by Setup Parameter F1 (See Section 8). Specifying probe 0 will return the average temperature of the two probes.

The response is ASCII text with temperature as a one decimal place number. Negative temperatures are preceded by a minus sign. Temperatures read in Fahrenheit mode have an “F” character inserted after the probe number:

Tn<space>-ttt.t<CR><LF>	for Celsius mode
TnF<space>-ttt.t<CR><LF>	for Fahrenheit mode

where n is the probe number (0, 1 or 2) and ttt.t is the temperature. The ttt.t value is not fixed length, but always includes one decimal place. A minus sign precedes negative values.

Examples:

T1 102.0<CR><LF>

T1F -74.3<CR><LF>
