Panel display of the PCR-M
The display of the PCR-M series with firmware version 1.20 or later operates as a monitor. It
displays the present value that is being delivered to the load.
The display of the PCR-M series with firmware version 1.19 or earlier displays the value that
was measured using the INIT or MEASure command. Therefore, the PCR-M display shows "--
-," which signifies that there is no data, in the following cases.
When the front panel control switches from local to remote.
When the PCR-M is in a condition in which valid measurement data cannot be queried.
When the measurement is not complete.
When the *RST or *RCL command is sent.
On firmware version 1.19 or earlier, the voltmeter and ammeter on the front panel display
are refreshed each time a new measurement is completed. If sequence operation auto
continue mode is turned ON, automatic refreshing of the measured data is enabled so that
the PCR-M operates as a monitor.
:INITiate:CONTinuous:SEQuence3
When continuous operation is enabled, measurement data and the front panel displays are
automatically refreshed by the internal trigger loop. In this state, MEASure/READ/FECh
query commands work equivalently. This means that sending multiple FETCh queries results
in different measurement results, and simultaneity is lost.
When the continuous operation is enabled, the ABORt command is virtually ignored because
the trigger subsystem automatically exits the IDLE state even if it is aborted.
The *RST/*RCL command resets the continuous operation to off.
NOTE
The panel display operation is different on a PCR-M with firmware version 1.19 or earlier and
on a PCR-M with firmware version 1.20 or later. However, programs created for a PCR-M with
firmware version 1.19 or earlier still run on a PCR-M with firmware version 1.20 or later (
except for control of panel display at timing of measurement ).
