Section 5: Software
*This packet will be transmied when the host issues one of the following commands (excluding a return prompt):
1. SCAN from Telnet connecon
2. Any Get command type
3. STATUS
4. LIST <group> or TYPE <group>
5. FDISK
6. An Error message if an error is generated
All responses from the MPS will end with a terminaon conguraon and prompt character (“>”). For “mul-list” or “mul-
line” responses, such as the response to a LIST command, each line will be terminated with a CR-LF (\r\n), except for the last
line in the response, which will include the “>” character.
Single line response: If the MPS is ready, a STATUS command would respond as:
STATUS: READY<CR><LF>
>
Mul-line response: If the MPS is ready, a LIST IP command would respond as:
SET IPADD 191.30.95.1<CR><LF>
SET SUBNET 191.30.95.1<CR><LF>
SET GW 0.0.0.0<CR><LF>
SET MAC 0:60:5d:82:0:04<CR><LF>
>
The “>” signies that the MPS module is ready to accept a new command.
Scan data from the MPS4200 can be formaed in six dierent ways: ASCII (A), Comma Separated Variable (CSV or C),
formaed for VT100 terminals (F), Binary (B), and LabVIEW Binary (L). The format is selected by seng the FORMAT congu-
raon variable to A, C, F, B, or L respecvely. It can also be selected by clicking on the appropriate link on the “Scan” page
when using the Web Browser.
The FORMAT conguraon variable sets the format for Telnet (T), FTP/UDP (F), and Binary Server (B) separately. See the
descripon of FORMAT for detailed descripon.
The MPS4200 can be congured to output ASCII scan data in several formats. The format is congured with the FORMAT
variable. Once a scan has stopped, the output will be followed by the PROMPT conguraon.
Note: Examples in this secon may only show a limited amount of channels for simplicity and space.
When FORMAT T or F is set to A, data is displayed in a column type format and is scrolling at the set rate.
Frame # <number>
<channel 1> <pressure> <temperature>
<channel 2> <pressure> <temperature>
:: :: :: :: ::
<channel n> <pressure>
If UNITS is set to an engineering unit value; <pressure> will be a value in EU, <temperature> will be in °C.
If UNITS is set to RAW; <pressure> will be a raw A/D pressure count, <temperature> will be in °C.
The <temperature> will only be shown on channels 1 through 4 as there are only 4 RTDs.
