switch settings (on pyros), or the type of sensor plugged into the amplifier (AD30). The meaning of the
integer is described further in specifications of the individual instruments.
RANGE <dec num> | auto Sets the range to the decimal number supplied, or makes range selection
automatic.
RPT? This query causes the remote interface to begin sending a sequence of comma-separated
sequence of readings. A new reading is sent each time one is taken by the instrument. This activity will
continue until the remote interface is interrupted by a new command or query.
COL <dec num> This command causes the instrument in energy mode to begin collecting readings for
statistical analysis. This command continues until <dec num> data points are collected, or until it is
interrupted by another command. If it is interrupted, no statistics are computed. If it terminates normally, it
computes values for the mean, max, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of the data points
collected. Those values may then be accessed with the queries mean?, max?,sigma?, and cv?. The
individual data points may be dumped with the dump? query.
COL? <dec num> This command is like the COL command, except that the individual data points are sent to
the remote interface as they are collected. The COL? query is slower than the COL command.
SND? The SND? query causes the instrument to send the next reading to the remote interface.
MEAN? If statistics have been collected from the front panel, or by the COL or COL? commands, this
command returns the mean of the collection. If no statistics have been collected, it returns zero.
MAX? If statistics have been collected from the front panel, or by the COL or COL? commands, this
command returns the maximum value of the collection. If no statistics have been collected, it returns zero.
SIGMA? If statistics have been collected from the front panel, or by the COL or COL? commands, this
command returns the standard deviation of the collection. If no statistics have been collected, it returns zero.
CV? If statistics have been collected from the front panel, or by the COL or COL? commands, this
command returns the coefficient of variation of the collection. If no statistics have been collected, it returns
zero.
DUMP? If statistics have been collected from the front panel, or by the COL or COL? commands, this
command returns all of the data values in the collection. If no statistics have been collected, it does nothing.
BAUD <dec num> Sets the RS232 baud rate to the value supplied. The decimal number must be one of
the following: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600.
PARITY EVEN | ODD | NONE Sets the parity of the RS232 interface to even parity, odd parity, or no
parity, as specified.
HANDS XON | CTS | NONE Sets the handshake method of the RS232 interface to XON/XOF, CTS, or
NONE as specified.
IO RS232 | IEEE On units with both IEEE and RS232 interfaces, this command makes the named interface
the SAVED active interface. The next time the instrument is powered up, or the *RCL 0, or the *RST
command is executed, it becomes the active interface.
