** These parameters are only available in dual probe models.
The first 19 variables are parameter values. They contain the integer value of the
parameter that they represent. Their true value can be determined by dividing
their value by 10*decimal point position. For example, if the Electrode area
parameter were set to 1.370 cm
2
then that parameter would contain the integer
1370. The true value = 1370/[10
(4-1)
] = 1.370. Where 1 represents the decimal
point position for the electrode area parameter.
(*) The asterisks under some decimal point positions indicate that the decimal
point position will change depending on the thickness and rate units. For the
thickness parameters, such as Plate Endpoint and Preplate Endpoint, the decimal
point position is held in the variable thickness decimal point position. And, for
the rate parameters, such as preplate rate, the decimal point position is held in the
variable rate decimal point position. The current decimal point position is held in
the current decimal point variable. These variables are sent with the Upload
machine status instruction, which is explained later in this section.
The last 14 variables are select parameters that contain a one byte integer that
indicate that parameter's setting. The select parameter values are shown in the
table below.
Plating material - This integer can range from 156 to 189.
