molbox™ RFM™ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
© 1998-2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company Page 124
TARESETUP(=)
Purpose To prepare the molbox RFM to be tared and to return the unit to
normal operation after a tare has been completed.
Syntax “TARESETUP=mode
“TARESETUP”
Defaults “TARESETUP=OFF”
Arguments mode: “OFF” Allows normal operation of the molbox
RFM.
“UP” Connects both of the absolute RPTs to the
upstream pressure. Also connects both ‘+’ and ‘-’
sides of the microrange RPT, if present, to the
upstream pressure (microrange RPT bypassed -
inactive).
“DN” Connects both of the absolute RPTs to the
downstream pressure. Also connects both ‘+’ and
‘-’ sides of the microrange RPT, if present, to the
downstream pressure (microrange bypassed -
inactive).
Remarks Before the molbox RFM can be tared, the “TARESETUP”
command must be used to configure the internal RPT
connections properly. After the tare operation is complete, the
“TARESETUP” command must again be used to restore the
RFM to normal operation. The “ABORT” command can also
return operation to normal. The normal order of remote
commands for a tare operation:
“TARESETUP=UP” or “TARESETUP=DN” configures the molbox
RFM for a tare.
“TARE” queries the molbox RFM for current conditions until it is
ready for tare.
“TARESET” tares the molbox RFM when the “TARE” query has
shown it is ready.
“TARESETUP=OFF” returns the molbox RFM to normal
measurement mode.
NOTE: The “TARESET” command takes 5 to 7 seconds to reply
due to the amount of time required to acquire a valid tare value.
Example Command:
Reply:
“TARESETUP=UP”
“UP”
Errors ERR# 6: An argument is invalid.
