Whenever the analyzer starts or finishes a calibration, it issues a status report to the RS-232
interface. If the RS-232 interface is in the normal mode, these reports will be sent. Otherwise,
they will be discarded. The format of these messages is:
C DDD:HH:MM IIII CALIBRATION STATUS MESSAGE
An example of an actual sequence of calibration status messages is:
C DDD:HH:MM IIII START MULTI-POINT CALIBRATION
C DDD:HH:MM IIII FINISH MULTI-POINT CALIBRATION
There are several methods of both checking the calibration and calibrating the M200AH, these
are discussed in Section 7. C LIST lists the calibration commands available. The C command
executes a calibration command, which may be one of the following:
Table 5-18: RS-232 Calibration Commands
Command Description
C LIST List calibration commands
C ZERO Enter zero calibration mode
C SPAN Enter span calibration mode
C COMPUTE ZERO Do a zero calibration
C COMPUTE SPAN Do a span calibration
C EXITZ Exit zero calibration
C EXITS Exit span calibration
C EXIT Exit zero or span calibration
When Diagnostic mode is entered from the RS-232 port, the diagnostic mode issues additional
status messages to indicate which diagnostic test is currently selected. Examples of Diagnostic
mode messages are:
D DDD:HH:MM IIII ZERO VALVE=ON
D DDD:HH:MM IIII ENTER DIAGNOSTIC MODE
D DDD:HH:MM IIII EXIT DIAGNOSTIC MODE
