Description: Reads the hexadecimal value for the gas pressure setting in psi.
Convert the hexadecimal value to decimal, and then divide that decimal value by
128 to get the gas pressure (psi).
Encoding or scaling: 16-bit, fixed-point binary with 1-bit sign at MSB and 7-bit decimal at LSB
Unit: psi
Function (hex): 04 (Read Registers)
Value Description
: Start of message
01 Plasma power supply node address
04 Read Registers
3010 First register address (0x3010)
0003 Quantity of registers to read (0x0003 = 3):
• 0x3010 (operating mode setting)
• 0x3011 (output current (A) setting)
• 0x3012 (gas pressure setting)
B8 LRC

Value Description
: Start of message
01 Plasma power supply node address (confirmed)
04 Read Registers (confirmed)
06 Quantity of bytes in the Data segment (0x06 = 6)
00 01 00 = 0x00 = high byte
01 = 0x01 = cut
1A40 0x1A40 = 6720/64 = 105 A
