Axis.
x
The user can choose to view force and torque data in the x, y, z
axis. The output value can be displayed in F/T counts or engineering
units. Counts are converted to units by scaling or dividing the count
value by the cpf or cpt. Refer to Section4.4—ConvertingCountsPer
Force/Torque to F/T Values.
y
z
m
Force and/or
Torque.
f
The XYZM force data is displayed.
t
The XYZM torque data is displayed.
Magnitude
m
Force or torque data is displayed as the magnitude of the vector
components in the x, y, and z axis. The output value can be
displayed in F/T counts or engineering units. Counts are converted to
units by scaling or dividing the count value by the cpf or cpt. Refer to
Section4.4—ConvertingCountsPerForce/TorquetoF/TValues.
Counts or Units.
c
The XYZM data is displayed in counts.
u
The XYZM data is displayed with the selected user units, for
example: N or Nm. Units are the default setting.
Numeric
System.
h
The data is displayed as a hexadecimal number. Except any data
printed in units is always displayed as a decimal number by default.
d
The data is displayed as a decimal number.
Format.
>
The data is displayed in a formatted human-readable output,for
example:lined-upcolumns.“>”isthedefaultsetting.
<
The data is displayed in a compressed output that has no leading
zeros, trailing zeros, or unnecessary blanks. This output is intended
for high-speed applications that are used in an automated setting.

8.3.1 ExamplesofSecondaryCommands(Speciers)
The following are examples of a “c” or “s” command with speciers:
1. C XTY is interpreted as:
user: s xty
response: 0.001 N 0.0009 Nm
a. The C is a command for reporting continuous lines of data.
b. The X species printing F
x
, because force is the default.
c. The T species printing torques whenever an x, y, z, or m is seen from now on
(on this line).
d. The Y species printing T
