Command Data Response/Function
? See Section 7.10 Returns data per the current output
format
A? <sp>+n.nnnnnE+nn<cr><lf> Returns the A channel pressure read-
ing in current units
AR? <sp>+n.nnnnnE+nn<cr><lf> Returns the A channel rate reading in
current units
ARS? <sp>{YES or NO}<cr><lf> Returns the A channel rate stable ag
AS? <sp>{YES or NO}<cr><lf> Returns the A channel pressure

Acquire? 15 char string.
Ex:
Acquire? Test_stand_1
Returns:
<sp>(YES or NO), CCC…
CCC<cr><lf>
This command is used when multiple
computers would like to control the
instrument.
Yes if acquisition is successful.
No if instrument is being controlled
with another computer.
CCC...= name of controlling computer
(see Release? and Unlock)
Address 1-31 Sets the GPIB Address
Address? <sp>nn<cr><lf> Returns the GPIB Address
Alarm_Limit Value inside primary transducer range
in current units.
Sets the threshold for triggering the
alarm, set to 10% over max. range to
“disable” alarm
