Comments • (As of version DLL 520:) ASC hardware checks are performed not just via
auto_cal(
Command = 4), but also automatically for
– auto_cal(
Command = 0) and
– the first call of auto_cal(
Command =1) and auto_cal( Command = 3) if neither
auto_cal(
Command = 0) nor auto_cal( Command = 4) were previously executed.
In each case, the detected ASC hardware type gets stored in the RTC
®
5’s EEPROM and
can be subsequently queried via get_auto_cal. For automatic
Command = 4 execution,
however, no corresponding return value is generated. The return value is instead simply
that of the primary
Command call (see above).
When an error occurs, a corresponding error code will get saved to the RTC
®
5 EEPROM
(therefore, get_auto_cal won’t return 100 or 200). As soon as hardware functionality
is restored, you can clear the error from the RTC
®
5 EEPROM by explicitly calling
auto_cal(command = 0) or auto_cal(command = 4) . The error can’t be cleared from the
RTC
®
5 EEPROM by calling auto_cal(command = 1) .

5 The functions for automatic self-calibration ( Command = 0 …2) are (largely) unchanged
(see version info).
New:
Command = 3 and Command = 4.
Version info Change with version DLL 520, OUT 519 (see page 612)
Last change with version DLL 535: Return value 8 (see above)

Function activates a one-time automatic list change
Call
auto_change()
Comments • The auto_change command is synonymous with auto_change_pos( 0 ) . The subse-
quent list will then start at its beginning.
• Also see comments for auto_change_pos.
