PC INTERF
ACE
PAR
Requests the setup parameters setting.
The answer string contains:
• Instrument ID (4 chars)
• Calibration Alarm time out for pH (2 chars)
• SETUP information (2 chars): 8 bit hexadecimal encoding.
• 0x01 ‑ beep ON (else OFF)
• 0x04 ‑ degrees Celsius (else degrees Fahrenheit)
• 0x08 ‑ Offset calibration (else Point calibration)
• Reading status (2 chars): R ‑ in range, O ‑ over range, U ‑ under range. First
character corresponds to the primary reading. Second character corresponds to
mV reading.
• Primary reading (corresponding to the selected range) ‑ 11 ASCII chars, includ‑
ing sign and decimal point and exponent.
• Secondary reading (only when primary reading is not mV) ‑ 7 ASCII chars,
including sign and decimal point.
• Temperature reading ‑ 7 ASCII chars, with sign and two decimal points, always
in °C.
MDR
Requests the instrument model name and firmware code (16 ASCII chars).
GLP
Requests the calibration data record.
The answer string contains:
• GLP status (1 char): represents a 4 bit hexadecimal encoding.
• 0x01 ‑ pH calibration available
• pH calibration data (if available), which contains:
• the number of calibrated buffers (1 char)
• the offset, with sign and decimal point (7 chars)
• the average of slopes, with sign and decimal point (7 chars)
• the calibration time,
yymmddhhmmss
(12 chars)
• buffers information (for each buffer)
• type (1 char): 0 ‑ standard, 1 ‑ custom
• status (1 char): N (new) ‑ calibrated in last calibration; O (old) ‑ from
an old calibration.
• warnings during calibration (2 chars): 00 ‑ no warning, 04 ‑ Clean
Electrode warning.
• buffer value, with sign and decimal point and exponent (11 chars).
• calibration time,
yymmddhhmmss
(12 chars).
• electrode condition, with sign (3 chars). The “‑01” code means not calculated.
