PRINT_TYPE?

Data Logging Type Query

 

Returns the status of data logging destination and condition, as selected with the

 

PRINT_TYPE command. Returns two integers in the form <destination<,<type> as

 

follows:

 

 

 

<destination> = 0, 1, 2, ... 6

 

0

= Log data to printer

 

1

= Log data to internal memory

 

2

= Log data to internal memory and printer

 

3

= Log data to memory card

 

4

= Log data to memory card and printer

 

5

= Log data to memory card and internal memory

 

6

= Log data to memory card, internal memory, and printer

 

 

<type< = 0, 1 or 2

 

0

= Record all scans

 

1

= Record scans if any scanned channel is in alarm

 

2

= Record scans when any alarm transitions

 

Example: PRINT_TYPE? returns 5,0 [Destination for logged data is to the memory

 

card and internal memory, and all scans are recorded.]

 

 

RANGE?

Channel Range Query

 

Returns the range(s) used for the scan in progress or the last completed scan. If a

 

channel is configured for autoranging, the actual range used for the measurement is

 

returned.

 

 

RANGE?

<channel>

 

 

 

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

If the <channel> specification field is left blank, values for all defined channels are returned. An Execution Error results if a request is made for a channel defined as OFF, the channel specified is invalid, or if the channel has been set up but not measured with at least one scan. The range value returned is not affected by Mx+B scaling.

An integer value (1-6) is returned, based on the table below. Temperature functions (thermocouple and RTD) always return a 1. Commas separate the integers if the return is for all scanned channels.

Example: RANGE? 12 returns 3 [Channel 12 has a range of 3. If measuring voltage, it would indicate the 30V scale.].

Example: RANGE? returns 2,2,1,6 [Four channels were scanned. The first and second have a range of 2, the third a range of 1, and the fourth a range of 6.]
