Omega FOB100 manual Typical temperature reading sequence

ex:	“y E”, with the FOB104 thermometer, will return:
	CH1: power:2.61, lamp attenuation: 250, CCD time: 50ms (fixed)<CR>
	CH2: power:2.51, lamp attenuation: 250, CCD time: 50ms (fixed)<CR>
	CH3: power:2.38, lamp attenuation: 125, CCD time: 50ms (fixed)<CR>
	CH4: power:1.09*, lamp attenuation: 125, CCD time: 50ms (fixed)<CR>

*: 0.3 to 1.1 indicates that no probe is detected for this channel.

“z[j[“ or “z[i;j]” This command is used in conjunction with the “s” command, as it sets the temperature that corresponds to the analog zero (minimum value of analog output). For multi-channel models, the “i” parameter specifies the channel to which the command is addressed; valid values are 1, 2, 3 and 4. The “j” parameter specifies the zero temperature value, and can range from -100.0 to 1000.0, in units that are defined by the last “u” command. Factory default is -100.0.

5.4 Typical temperature reading sequence

Once all parameters have been set, the following sequence should normally be followed to extract temperature information from your FOB100 thermometer. 2 procedures can be used for this purpose. The first method consists in using the “ta” command (preferred), while the second sequence would be:

d)The host computer should send the “t” (or “t[i]”) command, followed by a E character.

e)The thermometer responds by echoing the requested temperature values, as indicated above; the transmission is terminated by a “*” character.

f)When the “*” character is received, it is suggested to immediately terminate the dialog session by having the host computer issue the “r” command followed by a E character.
