Measurement Specialties 9116 Set Module type alias w3200, Set Hardware Trigger Mode w320x

Pressure Systems, Inc. Model 9116 User’s Manual

Consolidated below are the new commands added to the Model 9016 command set, as well as differences in existing commands, command parameters, or command responses:

Set Module type alias: w3200 xxxx

See the ‘SET/DO OPTION/FUNCTIONS’ (command ‘w’)’ in Section 3.2. Configures the Model 9116 to report its model type as Model 9116 or as a Model 9016 for compatibility with model type sensitive system software.

Set Hardware Trigger Mode: w320x

See the ‘SET/DO OPTION/FUNCTIONS’ (command ‘w’)’ in Section 3.2. Configures the trigger to response to positive going, negative going, or to any transition on the trigger input.

Query the Hardware Trigger Mode: q32

See the ‘READ MODULE STATUS’ (command ‘q’)’ in Section 3.2.

The Model 9116 will respond with a 1, 2, or 3 indicating, respectively, that its trigger is set to respond to a positive going, negative going or to any transition on the trigger input. The Model 9016 will respond to this command with an ‘N08’.

Query the Module Hardware Version: w31

See the ‘READ MODULE STATUS’ (command ‘q’)’ in Section 3.2.

The Model 9116 will report the version of hardware present as a floating point number of the format x.xxxxxx The Model 9016 will respond to this command with a ‘N08’.

Modifications to existing commands, (See Section 3.2):

In the ‘CONFIGURE A HOST DELIVERY STREAM’ (command ‘c’), the sync delay can now be set as small as 2 milliseconds and the granularity is 2 milliseconds with all other values rounded down to the nearest 2 milliseconds. This value was 10 milliseconds in the Model 9016.

In the Set Number of A/D Samples to Average, (command ‘w’). the minimum value and the default value is 4. The interleaved instrumentation amplifiers utilized in the Model 9116 allows it to provide the same throughput with one to four averages. With the quieter electronics of the Model 9116 and no speed advantage for lower numbers of averaged samples, the minimum and default is set to four. Valid values are 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Other values below 64 are rounded up to the next valid value listed above.”
