6700 SAMPLERS
Get Status
There is only one form of this command available:
STS,1,CS,581
“STS,1” instructs the sampler to return the current status
“CS,581” is the checksum value. The byte-by-byte sum of the
ASCII values in the string “STS,1,CS” is581.
“” is a carriage return signifying the end of the command.
Take Sample
The TAKE SAMPLE command is only valid if the sampler is
WAITING TO SAMPLE. Format the command as follows:
BTL,2,SVO,100,CS,1039
“BTL,2” instructs the sampler to place the sample in bottle 2.
“SVO,100” instructs the sampler to take a 100 ml sample.
“CS,1039” is the checksum value. The byte-by-byte sum of the
ASCII values in the string “BTL,2,SVO,100,CS,” is 1039.
“” is a carriage return signifying the end of the command.
Set Time
The SET TIME command is only valid if the sampler is WAIT-
ING TO SAMPLE. Format the command as follows:
TI,35523.50000,CS,988
“TI,35523.50000” setsthetime.Thevalue“35523.5000” is
the number of days since 00:00:00 1-Jan-1900. This example
would set the sampler’s clock to 12:00:00 3-Apr-1997.
“CS,988” is the checksum value. The byte-by-byte sum of the
ASCII values in the string “TI,35523.50000,CS,” is 988.
Command Driven Sampler Responses
The 6700 Sampler’s response string is the same for each of the
threecommands.Asampleresponsestringisshownbelow:
MO,6700,ID,2424741493,TI,35523.50000,STS,1,ST
I,35523.41875,BTL,2,SVO,100,SOR,0,CS,xxxx
Note that the sampler’s response is a series of alphabetical and
numerical pairs. The alphabetical characters are headings that
describe the following numerical value or code. A complete
description of each pair is listed below.
MO,6700, is the model number of the sampler.
ID,2424741493, is the sampler’s unique identification number.
TI,35523.50000, is the sampler’s current time.
STS,1, is the sampler’s current status. The possible states are:
