Fluke RPM4 manual CONTn, Date

RPM4™ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CONTn

Purpose	Have the RPM4 reply continuously as each new measurement becomes available.
Query	“CONTn?”
Classic	“CONTn”
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
Remarks	This command is somewhat different than most as it enables the RPM4 to continuously output the
	selected Q-RPT’s measurement without further queries. This continues until the next query is
	received by the RPM4, or if the ABORT” or “*CLS” command is received. The frequency of the
	measurements is determined by the readrate of the Q-RPT. The data returned includes the
	pressure of the specified or active Q-RPT, current unit of measure and measurement mode.
Example	Query sent:		“CONT1?”
(enhanced)	Query reply:		“1936.72 kPa a”	(repeats every measurement cycle)
Example	Query sent:		“CONT”
(classic)	Reply:		“1936.72 kPa a”	(repeats every measurement cycle)
See Also	“PR”, “READRATE”
DATE
Purpose	Read or set the RPM4 date.
Command	“DATE date”
Query	“DATE?”
Classic	“DATE= date”
	“DATE”
Arguments	date:		The date in the numerical only format “YYYYMMDD”
Remarks	The RPM4 has an internal real time calendar clock. The span of acceptable dates ranges
	from 19800101 to 20791231. The reply is always in the YYYYMMDD format.
Example	Cmd sent:		“DATE 20030115”
(enhanced)	Query reply:		“20030105”	(No reply if GPIB-488)
Example	Cmd sent:		“DATE? 20030105”
(enhanced)	Query reply:		“20030105”
Example	Sent:		“DATE=20021201”
(classic)	Reply:		“20021201”
Errors	ERR# 6:		Missing or improper program message argument(s).
See Also	“TIME”
	3.5.5.3
ERR
Purpose	Read the new available error message from the Error Queue.
Query	“ERR?”
Classic	“ERR”
Remarks	This program message obtains additional details about an error that has occurred. If the user
	receives an “ERR# nn” reply, or the enhanced mode is enabled using the IEEE-488 interface and
	an error has been detected, the error is put into a FIFO Error Queue. The “ERR” program
	message pulls and replies the oldest error message available. In “classic” mode only the most recent
	error can reside in the queue. “OK” is replied if there are no error messages left. If an error occurs in
	enhanced mode using the IEEE-488 interface, no reply is generated even if the command was a
	query.
Example	Query sent:		“ERR?”
(enhanced):	Query reply:		“Numeric argument missing or out of range”
Example	Sent:		“ERR”
(classic)	Reply:		“Numeric argument missing or out of range”
