NXC-VAI4 Send_Commands (Cont.)

Command

Description

PX
Sets the value of "I/O <x>
MAXIMUM" which is either
the maximum output voltage
allowed for an Output, or the
maximum position voltage
expected for an Input.

Voltage settings are rounded to the nearest D/A or A/D code. Voltage settings
are absolute levels and are unaffected by any scaling functions. Negative
voltages are not valid for Inputs.
Syntax:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P<I/O>X<LEVEL VALUE>'

Variables:

I/O: Any input or output ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8')
LEVEL VALUE: 12.000V to +12.000V

Examples:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P1X5.023V'

Sets the maximum output level for Output 1 to 5.023V.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P7X5.023V'

Sets the maximum of the expected input range for Input 7 to 5.023V.

PZ
Sets one of the two "set
point" variables "I/O <x> SET
POINT H|L" (high or low).

These variables are used to calculate calibration parameters for I/O <x> (input
or output). Receiving this command with no voltage specified returns the
specified set point to the default value.
Syntax:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P<I/O>Z<VOLTAGE>H|L'

Variables:

I/O: Any input or output ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8' plus '0' for EREF)
VOLTAGE: The current actual/measured voltage at the I/O.

Examples:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P1Z0.5VL'

Creates a low-end calibration point associating the current D/A code with 0.5
volts.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P1Z11.5VH'

Creates a high-end calibration point associating the current D/A code with 11.5
volts.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P0Z0.1VL'

Creates a low-end calibration point associating the current EREF A/D code
with 0.1 volts.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'P1ZL'

Returns the Output 1 lower set point to its default.
