2.7.7.2 Status Commands
The status of the PMC may be requested by using the Query Commands: QC, QD, QI, QV, or
QM. The controller addresses the PMC to listen, sends the query command, addresses the PMC to
talk and then receives the requested status data. For the QC, QI and QV commands the data is
sent as ASCII strings containing 1's and 0's to denote the settings of the various PMC controls and
quantities. See Table 2.5 for a description of these status items.
The PMC responds to output status command, QM, with ASCII L, H, =, or S to indicate that the
output is low, high, equal to the desired setting or in the Standby mode, respectively.
2.7.8 Error Handling
The PMC asserts the SRQ line when an error condition is detected and reports an error number to
the controller when serial polled. Tables 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 list the error number with corresponding
conditions, and indicate the resulting state of the PMC. After corrective action is taken, the
command sequence can be resumed.
