SYNTAX
C#card
Select the card from which subsequent
QC?
and
U12
interrogation will
retrieve information.
Without optional Relay Card
Valid options for
card
are:
0
- Selects the chassis; 1, 2, 3, or 4 - Selects the
card in corresponding slot of the main unit (with 1 being the bottom slot);
and 5, 6, 7, or 8 - Selects the corresponding slot on the expansion chassis
(with slot 5 being the bottom slot of the expansion chassis.
With optional Relay Card Installed (installs in slot 1)
Valid options for
card
are:
0
- Selects the chassis; 1 selects card in slot 2,
2 selects card in slot 3; and so on, with 7 selecting the card in slot 8; and
no card 8 available.
DESCRIPTION
Using the Select Card (
C#
) command, selecting a number from the range
1-8
for the parameter
card
will
cause subsequent
QC?
commands to return the calibration factors of the cards by themselves. To return the
calibration factors of the cards as part of the system, select a number from the range
101-108
.
EXAMPLE
PRINT#1, “C#0X”
‘ Select chassis
PRINT#1, “QC?X”
‘ Read chassis calibration factors
LINE INPUT#1, A$
PRINT A$
PRINT#1, “C#5X”
‘ Select the card #5
PRINT#1, “U12X”
‘ Read back the time/date that card #5 was last calibrated
LINE INPUT#1, A$
PRINT A$
PRINT#1, “C#105X”
‘ Select the card #5 in order to read back the calibration factors
as part of the system
PRINT#1, “QC?X”
‘ Read back the system calibration factors of card #5
LINE INPUT#1, A$
PRINT A$
Note: In the above example an expansion chassis is being used, thereby allowing an additional 4 card slots.
Note: Card #5 will typically be located in slot #5; however, if the optional relay card is used, card #5 will be located in
slot #6 and signal conditioning card use is limited to 7 cards (instead of 8).
