8.
TRIGGER:SET:<Rising>,<Open Time>,<Falling>,<Needle Lift>,<Number of Pulses>, <Delay>, 1
Description:
Same as command 7, but the parameters will be saved to be ready at the next start of the
MDC. The value 1 is a fixed value.
Notice:
The Time for Response of this command is about 1000 ms.
9.
VALVE:OPEN
Description:
This command initiates a dispense series with the current parameters.
Example:
Input:
VALVE:OPEN
Result:
Assuming the parameters:
Rising: 10 equals 1 ms (ms = millisecond)
Open Time: 10 equals 1.0 ms
Falling: 5 equals 0.5 ms
Needle Lift: 80 %
Number of Pulses: 20
Delay: 8 equals 0.8 ms
The command starts a dispense series with these parameters.
Return:
OK
10.
VALVE:OPEN:<Rising>,<Open Time>,<Falling>,<Needle Lift>,<Number of Pulses>,<Delay>
Description:
With this command you initiate a dispense series with the stated pulse parameters. All
parameters relating to time are shown as 1/10 ms (so 10 equals to 1 ms). Do only use positive
integer numbers.
If you want to use the External-Control-Mode enter “EXTENRAL” for the Open Time. The pulse
parameters you entered before with TRIGGER:SET will not be overwritten. This means, with
VALVE:OPEN:<Rising>,<Open Time>,<Falling>,<Needle Lift>,<Number of Pulses>,<Delay>
entered pulse parameters expire after this dispense series and are not accessible any more. If
you want to use the pulse parameters several times, you have to use the command
VALVE:OPEN:<Rising>,<Open Time>,<Falling>,<Needle Lift>,<Number of Pulses>,<Delay>
each time as well. Alternatively set the pulse parameters with TRIGGER:SET and recall them
with VALVE:OPEN as often as wanted.
Example:
Input:
VALVE:OPEN: 10,10,5,80,20,8
Result:
A dispense series with the following parameters is initiated:
Rising: 10 equals 1.0 ms (ms = millisecond)
Open Time: 10 equals 1.0 ms
Falling: 5 equals 0.5 ms
Needle Lift: 80 %
Number of Pulses: 20
Delay: 8 equals 0.8 ms
Return:
OK
11.
VALVE:UP
Description:
This command opens the valve until the command VALVE:DOWN is send. The maximum open
time is about two minutes. Within this time only the command VALVE:DOWN can be
processed. This ensures the protection of the valve.
Example:
Input:
VALVE:UP
Result:
The valve is opened.
Return:
OK
12.
VALVE:DOWN
Description:
This command closes the valve after the command VALVE:UP. If you did not use VALVE:UP
before, VALVE:DOWN does not achieve a result.
Example:
Input:
VALVE:DOWN
Result:
The valve will be closed.
Return:
OK
13.
SYSTEM:SHOW:CYCLES
Description:
This command reads the value of the cycle counter.
Example:
Input:
SYSTEM:SHOW:CYCLES
Result:
actual value of the cycle counter in a string
Return:
1235000
14.
SYSTEM:SHOW:VALVEID
Description:
This command reads the valve ID.
Example:
Input:
SYSTEM:SHOW:VALVEID
Result:
actual ID of the connected valve
Return:
11CW36
15.
SYSTEM:SHOW:CONTROLLERID
Description:
This command reads the controller ID.
Example:
Input:
SYSTEM:SHOW:CONTROLLERID
Result:
actual ID of the controller
Return:
3050
