Purpose
Read or set the fluid head settings.
Command
Query
“HEAD height, units, fluid”
“HEAD?”
Classic “HEAD=height, units, fluid”
“HEAD”
Defaults
“HEAD 0, cm, N2”
Arguments
height:
The height of the test in relation to the RPM4. The value is positive if the test is
above the RPM4, or negative if below the RPM4. The value can be between -
9999 and 9999. Setting the value to ‘0’ disables the head correction.
units:
The height units. This must be “in” or “cm”.
gas:
The fluid type. This must be “N2”, “Air”, “He”, “Oil”, “H2O”, or “User”.
Remarks
The RPM4 can make a fluid head correction to allow it to display the pressure at a level other than
the reference level of the RPM4.

ID
Purpose
Read or set the user defined instrument identification label.
Command
Query
“ID string”
“ID”
Classic
“ID=string”
“ID”
Arguments String:
An alphanumeric string up to 12 characters long.
Remarks
The user defined ID label can be used to allow the user to “tag” the RPM4 with a unique
identifier. This ID is stored in non-volatile memory and cannot be erased by a power failure,
system fault or reset. The ID should not be changed frequently, as the non-volatile memory
may fail after 100,000 write operations.
