NOTE All alpha characters must be upper case.
Notes to owners of Multi-Gauge and SenTorr:
❑ Most commands used by Multi-Gauge and SenTorr are still found in this protocol.
❑ Commands which apply to Multi-Gauge/SenTorr but do not apply to the XGS are
ignored by the XGS-600. There is no response and no error message.
❑ Any commands (ex. # 56-59) referring to a gauge or sensor type that is not supported
by the XGS-600 result in ?FF error message.
Backward-compatible sensor code can still be used in XGS-600 as with Multi-Gauge/
SenTorr protocol:
Read CNV gas type
(CNV only)
#aa4Ecn >x
where:
x=0 for Nitrogen/Air
x=1 for Argon
Set CNV gas type
(CNV only)
#aa4Fcnx
where:
x=0 for Nitrogen/Air
x=1 for Argon
