SET:DEV:MB1.T1 :TEMP:TYPE:PTC:EXCT:TYPE:UNIP:MAG:10uA:CALB:RP5.DAT
If this command is successfully completed, the following message is returned:
STAT:SET:DEV:MB1.T1
:TEMP:TYPE:PTC:EXCT:TYPE:UNIP:MAG:10uA:CALB:RP5.DAT:VALID
If the excitation type is not supported, the following message is returned:
STAT:SET:DEV:MB1.T1 :TEMP:TYPE:PTC:EXCT:TYPE:INVALID:MAG:INVALID:
CALB:RP5.DAT
Example of reading a temperature sensor
The following command reads the sensor voltage:
READ:DEV:MB1.T1 :TEMP:SIG:VOLT
The sensor returns the following message:
STAT:DEV:MB1.T1 :TEMP:SIG:VOLT:12.345:mV:VALID
8.3.5.3 Addressing a temperature control loop
To address a control loop, you must specify the temperature sensor that is associated with the
control loop:
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 control loop are DEV:<UID>:TEMP: followed by:
COMMAND OPTIONS Read/Write DESCRIPTION
LOOP HTR UID R/W Assign Heater device to Temperature
LOOP AUX UID R/W
Assign Auxiliary device to
Temperature
LOOP P R/W Set the P Value
LOOP I R/W Set the I Value
LOOP D R/W Set the D Value
LOOP PIDT OFF:ON R/W
Sets automatic PID values (from
table)
LOOP PIDF R/W
Sets the file to read from for the
automatic PID Table
LOOP THTF R/W
Sets the file to read from for the
Target Heater Table
