B) Following characters in sequence mode
For instance :
L1 C0: 0.15mļ 0.00V,L2 R0: 1.50KV 0.02mA,L3 M0: 41.7 Gļ,L4 F0:q 0.01mA 223V
A2,L5 ..: ,L6 ..: ,L7 ..: ,L8 ..:
The syntax rules are the following :
ļ· the end of the message is : CR ( Carriage Return)
ļ· each test step starts with a Ā« L Ā» and ends with Ā« , Ā» ( except for the last one) .
ļ· the Ā« L Ā» letter is followed by a number between 1 and 8 , giving the test step number and
then by a Ā« space Ā».
ļ· then comes a letter according to the type of the test step :
ļ· the measurement type is followed by the memory number which contains the
measurement parameters , then by a separator character Ā« : Ā»
ļ· if the test step is void , the measurement will be replaced by a Ā« space Ā»
ļ· otherwise , the next character gives the test step result :
ļ· Ā« space Ā» indicates that the test is good
ļ· Ā« q Ā» indicates that the test is bad
ļ· for the insulation and dielectric strength tests the previous character is followed by 1
āspaceā and for the ground continuity test by 2 āspaceā.
ļ· then the numerical values are given . When the value cannot be measured ( no continuity
or overload ) the numerical indication is replaced by Ā« ---- Ā»
To check if a tested specimen is good or bad at the end of a sequence , it is necessary to
check the STB register ( bit 3) .To get the result of each test step , check if the result
character is Ā« space Ā» or Ā« q Ā».
