RPT 301 User Manual 1 7 K177 Issue No. 3 3.6 Detailed Command Definitions Measurement Commands R - Return stored reading This command retrieves the current stored reading, as the reading is the stored and filtered (if the filter is selected) there will be no delay in the reply.
1 8 RPT 301 User Manual K177 Issue No. 3 Command: A,nnnnnn Where: ‘nnnnnn’ is a number between 1 and 999999. This is the period in seconds between successive transmissions. Reply: None Result: A reading is transmitted every nnnnnn seconds. The transmission format is the same as the reply of the ‘R’ command.
RPT 301 User Manual 1 9 K177 Issue No. 3 Set-up Commands U - Unit Set-up This command sets the units of the pressure measurement; the selection is nonvolatile.
2 0 RPT 301 User Manual K177 Issue No. 3 F - Filter Set-up This command sets the instrument reading filter coefficients. Command: F, step, average Where: step is a pressure band within which the filter operates. If the pressure steps outside this band, the filter is bypassed.
RPT 301 User Manual 2 1 K177 Issue No. 3 O - Set Communications Options This command sets the communication port parameters to match those of the control computer. Note: When changing these settings care must be taken to avoid losing communication with the instrument.
2 2 RPT 301 User Manual K177 Issue No. 3 S - Status This command returns the instrument status. Command: S Reply: STATUS nn Where nn: 01 = Frequency outside limits 02 = Diode voltage outside limits 04 = Electronics failure Combination errors: a status 06 represents diode voltage and electronics failure.
RPT 301 User Manual 2 3 K177 Issue No. 3 4 Calibration The instrument is supplied with a calibration certificate. For the instrument to stay accurate it is recommended that it is checked every 12 months. The use of a Class A compensated deadweight pressure standard is recommended.
2 4 RPT 301 User Manual K177 Issue No. 3 The calibration routine requires a minimum of two pressures within the operating extremes (maximum of six pressures). The instrument software calculates an offset and gain correction to be applied to all subsequent readings using a statistical best straight line method.
RPT 301 User Manual 2 5 K177 Issue No. 3 P - Change PIN This command changes the PIN (Personal Identification Number) that protects the calibration data. The instrument is shipped with the PIN 000. If the PIN is lost, the default (000) may be restored by fitting the ‘default’ link and switching off and then on.
