SIG PRES R Measured pressure
SIG POWR R Sensor power dissipation
10.3.5.7 Addressing a pressure control loop
To address a control loop, you must specify the pressure sensor that is associated with the
control loop:
DEV:<UID>:PRES:
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>:PRES: followed by:
COMMAND OPTIONS Read/Write DESCRIPTION
LOOP AUX UID R/W
Assign Auxiliary device to
Temperature
LOOP SWFL R/W
Sets the file to read from for the
Sweep Table
LOOP SWMD OFF:ON R/W Sets the sweep mode
LOOP TSET 0 - 2000 R/W Sets the pressure set point
LOOP FSET 0 - 100 R/W
Sets the flow percentage (Manual
flow)
LOOP FAUT OFF:ON R/W Enables/Disables flow control
