Table 4-5. Command and Query Reference (cont)

Select Measurement Rate

Specifies the measurement rate. Changing the measurement rate also clears the Review array, and ALARM OUTPUTS and DIGITAL I/O lines.

RATE 0 Selects the slow measurement rate.

RATE 1 Selects the fast measurement rate.

Selection of the fast measurement rate using the RATE 1 command will speed up the measurement portion of the scan interval; however, the measurement resolution is four digits instead of five digits. For example, a reading of +115.32 with a slow measurement rate would be +115.3 with the fast measurement rate. An Execution Error is generated if the argument is not 0 or 1 or if the instrument is scanning.

Measurement Rate Query

Return measurement rate for the instrument.

0Measurement rate is slow

1Measurement rate is fast Remote without Lockout

Places the instrument in the remote mode, lights the front panel REM annunciator, and only two front panel keys are active (with special REMS functionality):

The Qkey triggers a single scan.

The Kkey returns the instrument to normal front panel control.

To return the instrument to normal front panel control with a command, use the LOCS command.

Clear Review Values

Clear all minimum, maximum, and last values (all channels) in the Review array. (It is not possible to selectively clear individual entries in the Review array.) The Review clearing operation is carried out at any time, except during the measurement portion of the scan internal. only at the completion of any scan in progress. Clearing the Review array also clears ALARM OUTPUTS and DIGITAL I/O lines to a logic high..

Reset

(See front of table.)

RTD Ice Point (R0)

For the indicated channel, store the numeric data as the RTD R0 ice point resistance, i.e., the resistance of the RTD at 32°F (0°C). Changing the ice point also clears the Review array and ALARM OUTPUTS and DIGITAL I/O lines. (The 0 portion of R0 in the RTD_R0 command is the number zero.) The default value is 100.00.

RTD_R0

<channel<, <R0>

 

<channel> = 0,1,2 ... 20

 

<R0> = 000.00 to 999.99

An Execution Error is generated if the R0 value supplied is not within the indicated range, the channel specified is invalid, the channel is defined as OFF, or measurements are active.

Example: RTD_R0 6, 124.85 [For channel 6, set the R0 ice point resistance to a value of 124.85.]
