RPM4™ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

ATM

Purpose

Reads the next measured pressure from RPM4’s on-board barometer (if present).

Query

“ATM?”

 

 

 

Classic

“ATM”

 

 

 

Remarks

The atmospheric pressure as measured by the RPM4 on-board barometer is returned in

 

the current pressure units of the active Q-RPT (always absolute). This measurement is

 

followed by the units text. Not all RPM4s are equipped with an on-board barometer.

AUTOZEROn

 

 

 

 

Purpose

Read or set the status of the AutoZ function.

Command

“AUTOZEROn state

 

Query

“AUTOZEROn?”

 

Classic

“AUTOZEROn= state

 

 

“AUTOZEROn

 

Default

“AUTOZERO1”

 

Optional Suffix

“n”

The active Q-RPT is assumed if no suffix is given.

 

 

‘1’

Specify the Hi Q-RPT if the Hi and Lo Q-RPTs are NOT OFF

 

 

 

Specify the HL Q-RPT if the Hi and Lo Q-RPTs are OFF

 

 

‘2’

Specify the Lo Q-RPT

 

 

‘3’

Specify the HL Q-RPT if the HL Q-RPT is active

Arguments

‘state’:

 

’0’

Autozero OFF

 

 

 

’1’

Autozero ON

Remarks

The RPM4 AutoZ function can be turned ON and OFF. There is a separate AutoZ flag for

 

the gauge, absolute, and differential measurement modes for each Q-RPT. This

 

command sets the AutoZ status for the current mode of the specified or the active Q-RPT

 

only. To set the sate of AutoZ for a measurement mode, you must be in that mode.

Example

Cmd sent:

“AUTOZERO 0”

(enhanced)

Query reply:

“0”

(No reply if GPIB-488)

Example

Sent:

 

“AUTOZERO=0”

(classic)

Query reply:

“AUTOZERO=0”

Errors

ERR# 7:

 

The argument was other than ‘0’ or ‘1’.

 

ERR# 10:

The suffix is invalid.

AUTOZEROn=RUN

 

 

 

 

Purpose

Run the AutoZero routine.

Command

“AUTOZEROn RUN (,Pref)”

Query

“AUTOZEROn? RUN (,Pref)”

Classic

“AUTOZEROn= RUN (,Pref)”

Optional Suffix

“n”

The active Q-RPT is assumed if no suffix is given.

 

 

‘1’

Specify the Hi Q-RPT if the Hi and Lo Q-RPTs are NOT OFF

 

 

 

Specify the HL Q-RPT if the Hi and Lo Q-RPTs are OFF

 

 

‘2’

Specify the Lo Q-RPT

 

 

‘3’

Specify the HL Q-RPT if the HL Q-RPT is active

Arguments

‘Pref’: The AutoZ reference pressure in Pa. Optional when the RPM4 is not in

 

 

absolute measurement mode, as the reference is usually “0”.

Remarks

The RPM4 AutoZ function can be remotely run with this command only if AutoZero is

 

ON. You should ensure that the pressure is stable for valid determination of Zoffset. If in

 

differential mode, the previous 5 measurements of the Q-RPTs are averaged for Zoffset

 

calculation so you should ensure that the RPM4 has been stable for at least 5

 

measurement cycles before running a remote AutoZ in differential mode.

Errors

ERR# 6:

 

An argument was not given for the AutoZ reference in absolute mode.

 

ERR# 10:

Invalid suffix

 

ERR# 53

AutoZero is currently OFF.
