Fluke RPM4 manual Adder, mult CalDate, PCALn= adder, mult CalDate, PRn

4. REMOTE OPERATION

PCALn

Purpose	Read or set the calibration information for the Hi or Lo Q-RPT.
Command	“PCALn	adder, mult,		CalDate”
Query	“PCALn?”
Classic	“PCALn= adder, mult,			CalDate”
	“PCALn”
Defaults	“PCALn = 0.0, 1.0, 19800101”
Optional Suffix	“n”	The active Q-RPT is assumed if no suffix is given. The Hi Q-RPT is assumed if the HL
		Q-RPT is active and no suffix is given.
		‘1’	Specify the Hi Q-RPT
		‘2’	Specify the Lo Q-RPT
Arguments	Adder:		The Q-RPT calibration adder (PA). In Pascal.
	Mult:		The Q-RPT calibration multiplier (PM) from 0.1 to 100.
	CalDate:		The date of the calibration in the format “YYYYMMDD” by default. Any other
			format up to 8 characters long is also accepted, and the replied format is in th
			previously entered format.
Remarks	The user defined pressure calibration information for the specified Q-RPT (Hi or Lo) can be
	accessed with this program message. The HL Q-RPT does not have it’s own calibration
	information. Using this program message overwrites the current calibration coefficients, so caution
	must be used. Changes made using this program message take effect immediately.
	For compatibility with the obsolete style PPC3 “PCAL:HI” and “PCAL:LO” commands, “:HI” and
	“:LO” can be used in place of the suffix “n” but this is not recommended for new applications.
Example	Cmd sent:		“PCAL2? 2.1, 1.000021, 20011201”
(enhanced)	Query reply:		“ 2.10 Pa, 1.000021, 20011201” (No reply if GPIB-488)
Example	Cmd sent:		“PCAL? 2.1, 1.000021, 20011201”
(enhanced)	Query reply:		“ 2.10 Pa, 1.000021, 20011201”
Example	Cmd sent:		“PCAL:HI? 2.1, 1.000021, 20011201” (PPC3 style is OK)
(enhanced)	Query reply:		“ 2.10 Pa, 1.000021, 20011201”
Example	Sent:		“PCAL1=2.1, 1.000021, 20011201”
(classic)	Reply:		“ 2.10 Pa, 1.000021, 20011201”
Errors	ERR# 6:		One of the arguments is out of range.
	ERR# 10:		The suffix is invalid.

PRn
Purpose	Read the next available pressure measurement.
Query	“PRn?”
Classic	“PRn”
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	The next available pressure value for the specified or active Q-RPT is read in the current pressure
	units. The data returned also contains Ready/Not Ready information, and the pressure unit of
	measure and measurement mode.
	The reply field is always 20 characters long. The first 3 characters of the reply are reserved for the
	ready status. The ready status is described in the “SR” program message. The pressure value and
	pressure unit of measure are right justified in this field.
	After receiving this program message, the RPM4 replies back with the data after a new pressure
	measurement cycle is complete. This can take up to the current read rate period (1.2 seconds by
	default).
Example	Query sent:		“PR?”
(enhanced)	Query reply:		“R	1936.72 kPa a”
Example	Query sent:		“PR”
(classic)	Reply:		“R	1936.72 kPa a”
