forms. Most mnemonics have a long form that is more readable and a short form con-
sisting of three or four characters that is more efcient.
A mnemonic may end with a numeric sufx that species one of a set of independent
function blocks such as input channel data paths. If a numeric sufx is omitted when a
particular block must be specied, an error is generated (“Header sufx out of range”).
Query commands are commands that request data in response. Query commands have
a question mark (?) immediately following the command header. Responses to query
commands are generated immediately and placed in the output buffer. Responses are
then transmitted automatically over the RS-232 port. Responses are lost if not read
before the next command is received.
Some commands require parameter data to specify values for one or more parameters.
The command header is separated from the parameter data by a space (ASCII 20 hex
or 32 decimal). Multiple parameters are separated by a comma(,).
Field Temperature Blocks do not allow compound commands (multiple commands per
line separated with semicolons). All commands are sequential. The execution of each
command is completed before subsequent commands are processed.
6.3 Commands by Function or Group
In this section, the commands are arranged into the following groups:
