GSIOC Commands
Ksxxx B Sets liquid level sensing sensitivity where:
s - selected probe (a, b, c, or d)
xxx - Value from 0 to 255; 0 is the most sensitive, 255 is
the least sensitive.
If s is not specified, the default is abcd.
K I Reads liquid level sensing sensitivity. Returns
“aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd” where:
aaa - sensitivity of probe A
bbb - sensitivity of probe B
ccc - sensitivity of probe C
ddd - sensitivity of probe D
Possible sensitivity range is from 0 to 255 for each probe; 0
is the most sensitive, 255 is the least sensitive.
M I Reads X, Y, Z motor status and dilutor status. Returns
“xyzp”. For each status, you’ll see U for unpowered, P for
powered, R for running, or E for error.
Note: Because the Quad-Z uses an external dilutor, the
dilutor status is always unpowered (U).
m I Read X, Y, Z motor status and width of the probes. Returns
“xyabcdw” where:
x = X motor
y = Y motor
a = Z motor on probe A
b = Z motor on probe B
c = Z motor on probe C
d = Z motor on probe D
w = pitch motor
For each status, you’ll see U for unpowered, P for powered,
R for running, or E for error.
M B Start to move probes to the Z-height positions (set using the
buffered T command, see page C-8).
m B Start to move probes to the Z-height positions (set using
the buffered T command, see page C-8) with liquid level
sensing on.
