MCARD_DIR?

Memory Card Directory

 

Returns a terminated string for each file in the root directory of the memory card. The

 

string is a comma-separated list of the file’s name, size, modification date (day,

 

month, year) and time (hours, minutes, seconds).

 

Example: MCARD_DIR? returns:

 

DAT00.HYD,826,7,21,1994,16,20,44

 

DAT01.HYD,810,7,21,1994,16,50,10

 

SET00.HYD,730,7,21,1994,17,10,32

 

SET01.HYD,730,7,21,1994,18,30,03

MCARD_FORMAT

Format Memory Card

 

Memory card inserted in the Data Bucket will be formatted. The card must be the

 

static RAM (SRAM) type, meeting PCMCIA standards. An Execution Error is

 

generated and the card not formatted if scanning is in progress, the card is of

 

unknown size, or card is write-protected. If the memory card contains a PCMCIA

 

card information structure (CIS), the card size is determined from the CIS.

 

Otherwise, the size is algorithmically determined by writing to the memory card. A

 

CIS is never written to the card.

 

When formatting a memory card, any scan data that has been stored in internal

 

memory waiting to be written to a valid memory card will be lost.

 

 

MCARD_SIZE?

Memory Card Size

 

Returns the memory card size as an integer number of kilobytes.

 

Example: MCARD_SIZE? returns 1024 [Memory card size is 1024 kilobytes (1

 

megabyte).]

 

 

 

MIN?

Channel’s Minimum Value

 

Returns the minimum value(s) measured since the review array was last cleared.

 

MIN?

<channel>>

 

 

<channel> = 0, 1, 2, ... 20, or leave blank

Returns minimum measurement values for either the indicated channel, or for all defined channels if the <channel>field is left blank. An Execution Error results if a request is made for a channel defined as OFF, the channel specified is invalid, the channel specified has been set up but not yet measured, or Review array values have been cleared by REVIEW_CLR, or by changing any parameter on any channel.

The return is a signed number with decimal point and exponent. For slow scanning rate, 5 digits are returned (+/-XX.XXXE+/-N); for fast scanning rate, 4 digits are returned (+/-XX.XXE+/-N). The channel range setting determines placement of the decimal point. A return of +001.00E+9 indicates an overload (OL) condition; a return of +009.00E+9 indicates an open thermocouple (otc) condition. If no channel specification is made, all the minimum values of the scanned channels are returned, each separated by a comma.

Example: MIN? 16 returns +167.85E+3 [The minimum scanned value of channel 16 is 167,850 (RATE 0 and FORMAT 1 are asserted).]

Example: MIN? returns +091.67E+0,+001.00E+9,+115.21E-3 [Three channels were scanned. The first channel had a minimum reading of 91.67; the second channel is in overload (OL); the third channel had a minimum reading of 0.11521 (RATE 0 and FORMAT 1 are asserted).]
