43
Responses:
$IT<CR>
Alarms are enabled for the specified communication path.
$IF<CR>
Alarms are disabled for the specified communication path.
SHOW_BLRE
Shows the baseline restorer time constant in microseconds. See also SET_BLRE.
Responses:
BLUE 000000000000091
Time constant is 91 µs.
SHOW_BLRE_AUTOMATIC
Shows whether automatic selection of the baseline restorer constant is off or on.
Responses:
$IT<CR>
Automatic baseline is enabled.
$IF<CR>
Automatic baseline is disabled.
SHOW_CONFIGURATION
Returns a record that indicates the hardware configuration of the MCB. The record contains
information about the number of segments in an MCB device (always 1 for the DSPEC), and
the current conversion gain for each segment. The record is organized as follows:
$J1638400001aaaaa00000[65 zeros here for total of 75 zeros]00000ccc
where
aaaaa
represents the conversion gain for the one and only segment in the currently
selected device, and
ccc
represents the record checksum. See the section on response records
in this chapter for more information about response records and checksums.
SHOW_CONFIGURATION_UART
Reports the baud rate, parity option, number of data bits, and number of stop bits for the serial
interface.
Responses:
$F09600N81
9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
$F19200E82
19200 baud, even parity, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits.
$F02400O71
2400 baud, odd parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bits.
SHOW_CORRECTION_FLAT
Shows the flattop correction value. See also SET_CORR_FLAT.
Responses:
CORR_FLAT 000000000000000
SHOW_DATE
Returns the day, month, and year of the current date as maintained in the battery-backed-up
real time clock, in the form dddmmmyyy. The day is returned as a 3-digit integer number
