SCAL Generate SoftCal™ Curve
Input: SCAL <std>, <dest>, <SN>, <T1 value>, <U1 value>, <T2 value>, <U2 value>, [<T3
value>], [<U3 value>]
Returned: Nothing
Remarks: Generates a SoftCal curve (Paragraph 8.2). NOTE: Curves are not permanently updated in
the curve Flash until a CRVSAV command is issued. May take some time, use the BUSY?
command to determine completion.
<std> Specifies the standard curve to generate a SoftCal from. Valid entries: 1 - 20.
<dest> Specifies the user curve to store the SoftCal curve. Valid entries: 21 - 60.
<SN> Specifies the curve serial number. Limited to 10 characters.
<T1 value> Specifies first temperature point.
<U1 value> Specifies first sensor units point.
<T2 value> Specifies second temperature point.
<U2 value> Specifies second sensor units point.
<T3 value> Specifies third temperature point.
<U3 value> Specifies third sensor units point.
Example: SCAL 1, 21, 340000, 4.2, 1.6260, 77.32, 1.0205, 300.0, 0.5189[term] - Generates a three-
point SoftCal curve from standard curve 1 and saves it in user curve 21.
SETP Configure Control Loop Setpoint
Input: SETP <loop>, <value>
Returned: Nothing
Remarks: Configures the control loop setpoint.
<loop> Specifies which loop to configure.
<value> The value for the setpoint (in whatever units the setpoint is using).
Example: SETP 1, 122.5[term] - Control Loop 1 setpoint is now 122.5 (based on its units).
SETP? Query Control Loop Setpoint
Input: SETP? <loop>
Returned: <value>. Format: ±nnn.nnnE±n[term]
Remarks: Returns the control loop setpoint. See the SETP command for parameter descriptions.
<loop> specifies which loop to query.
SETTLE Sets Loop1 Settle Parameters
Input: SETTLE [<threshold>], [<time>]
Returned: Nothing
Remarks: Configures Loop 1 settle parameters. (Refer to description of Status Byte Register in
Paragraph 9.1.3.1).
<threshold> Specifies the allowable band around the setpoint. Valid entries: 0.0 - 100.00.
<time> Specifies time in seconds the reading must stay within the band.
Valid entries: 0 - 86400.
Example: SETTLE 10.0, 10[term] - The Control Loop 1 input readings must be within ±10 K of the
setpoint for 10 seconds before the Within Control Limit flag is set.
SETTLE? Query Loop1 Settle Parameters
Input: SETTLE?
Returned: <threshold>, <time>. Format: nnn.nn,nnnnn[term]
Remarks: Returns Control Loop 1 settle parameters. See the SETTLE command for parameter
descriptions.
