To enter engineering mode, send the following command:
SET:SYS:MODE:ENG:PASS:******
To exit engineering mode, send the following command:
SET:SYS:MODE:NORM
To change the system password, you must be in engineering mode. Then you can send an
issue password command:
SET:SYS:MODE:ENG:PASS:******
SET:SYS:PASS:newpassword
SET:SYS:MODE:NORM
(where ****** is the existing password and newpassword is the new password).
Example of a system command
Send the following command to determine the iTC configuration:
READ:SYS:CAT
A system with no daughter boards would return the following:
STAT:DEV:MB0 :TEMP:DEV:MB1 :HTR
This message indicates the motherboard has one temperature sensor in id0 and one heater in
id1.
A system with one set of daughter boards might return the following:
STAT:DEV:MB0 :TEMP:DEV:DB1 :TEMP:DEV:MB1 :HTR:DEV:DB2:HTR:DEV:DB3
:AUX:DEV:DB4 :LVL
This message indicates that there are two temperature sensors, two heaters, one auxiliary I/O
board, and one level sensor.
8.3.5.2 Addressing a temperature sensor
To address a temperature sensor, use the following structure:
DEV:<UID>:TEMP
where <UID> is a unique identifier that is allocated to each board, based on its SPI location.
The configuration settings for a temperature sensor are DEV:<UID>:TEMP followed by:
