unit Pressure unit MBAR, TORR, PASCAL
v.vv Firmware version of
gauge Three characters and a decimal point. Higher
revision numbers indicate newer versions of
firmware. Example: 1.00.

syy Signed exponent of
pressure values s
yy
= Sign of exponent, +/ –
= Exponent 00 … 09
z Operation of relays
(switching function) +
–
= Relay on below threshold
= Relay on above threshold
All Commands and responses are terminated by "carriage return" (CR).
All response messages contain 13 characters, including CR.
For better readability, a space character is signified by a " _ " (underline)
character in the table below.
