Description

Operation

100

Extended status register (ESER)

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Several statuses information are stored in the extended status register and returned when executing this command. After execution, statuses information are updated. Returns a 16-bit status value with a structure described on table Structure of bits for status information

Read-only

101

Communication configuration

Mode. Possible values are 0: :REM, 1: :HEAD, or 2: :VERB

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Options. Possible values are 0: Request (read-only), 1: ON (write-only), or 2: OFF (write-only)

This command configures the main communication options. Returns for the Request option (the N4 parameter equal to zero) the values 0: OFF or 1: ON. Please check the next note for more information

Reading or writing

102

Integration

Mode. Possible values are 0: :STAR, 1: :STOP, 2: :RES, or 3: :MODE

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Integration. Possible values are 0: NORM or 1: CONT. This parameter is only valid if the N2 parameter is equal to 3 (three, :MODE)

Energy integration. Returns for :MODE (the N2 parameter equal to three) the values 0: Normal or 1: Continuous. Please check the next note for more information

Read-only

103

Measurement

Measurement. Possible values are 0: V, 1: A, 2: W, 3: VA, 4: VAR, 5: PF, 6: DEGR, 7: VHZ, 8: AHZ, 9: WH, 10: WHP, 11: WHM, 12: AH, 13: AHP, 14: AHM, 15: VPK, or 16: APK

Element. Possible values are 0: :ALL (write-only), 1: :SIGM (reading or writing), 2: :ELEM1 (reading or writing), 3: :ELEM2 (reading or writing), or 4: :ELEM3 (reading or writing)

Options. Possible values are 0: Request (read-only), 1: ON (write-only), or 2: OFF (write-only)

Enables or disables reading normal measurements. Returns for the Request option (the N4 parameter equal to zero) the values 0: OFF or 1: ON. Please check table Options for the Measurement command for more information

Reading or writing

104

Harmonics measurement

Harmonic. Possible values are 0: SYNC, 1: VTHD, 2: V, 3: VCON, 4: ATHD, 5: A, 6: ACON, 7: PF, 8: W, 9: WCON, 10: VDEG, or 11: ADEG

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Options. Possible values are 0: Request (read-only), 1: ON (write-only), or 2: OFF (write-only)

Enables or disable reading harmonic measurements. Returns for the Request option (the N4 parameter equal to zero) the values 0: OFF or 1: ON

Reading or writing

105

Time Math functions

Item. Possible values are 0: TIME or 1: MATH

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Options. Possible values are 0: Request (read-only), 1: ON (write-only), or 2: OFF (write-only)

Enables or disables reading TIME or MATH parameters. Returns for the Request option (the N4 parameter equal to zero) the values 0: OFF or 1: ON

Reading or writing

106

Harmonics presets

Presets. Possible values are 0: VPAT, 1: APAT, 2: WPA, 3: DPAT, 4: ALL, or 5: CLE

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Not used, leave it in (zero)

Enables or disables reading harmonics presets. Please check table Options for harmonics presets for more information

Write-only

 

NOTES

It is not advisable to change the communication parameters of the Communication configuration command during the execution of an application, because this Driver depends on this configuration to decode data. Also, the behavior of this Driver may become unpredictable if those parameters are changed while it is active.

For all other modes of the Integration command, please check the result of its execution using the ITG and ITM bits of the Extended Status Register (ESER). To enable a Request command, change the type of a Tag to Reading and the Mode parameter to 3 (three).
