III.4 IMMEDIATE AND REPETITIVE PRINT MODES

Two print modes are available on the Model 370, as discussed in Sections
3.8 and 3.9.

The immediate print interrogation, used in the example above, is the
preferred method of getting pressure data to a computer program.

The repetitive print mode is intended for sending data to a printer or data
logger at a time interval which is user definable (Section 3.9).

III.5 VERIFY FUNCTION

To identify the Setra Digital Pressure Gauge when it is connected remotely
to a computer, send the command character "V" (for verify). The gauge will
respond with a message like the one shown below .

SETRA DIGITAL PRESSURE GAUGE MODEL 370
11.0000 TO 16.0000 PSI A

III.6 STATUS AFTER POWER IS APPLIED

The Setra Digital Pressure Gauge has an internal nonvolatile memory for
storing certain status and calibration information. This memory is not erased
when power is removed from the unit. All setup functions (such as baud rate
and alarm setpoints) and user conversion factors are stored in the memory,
so that once they are setup, they do not need to be setup again unless you
wish to change the configuration.

Some of the functions default to "not in use" when the power is turned on;
MIN/MAX tracking will be off, the zero/tare value will be zero, and the f(p)
function will be off.

During the first thirty seconds of operation, the gauge will execute an internal
self-diagnostic procedure. When the gauge is ready for use, it will transmit
the "Verify" message shown above.
