Appendix D OptiMelt Remote Programming 103MESG (?) {s}*TST ?MessageThe MESG s command sends the message string s to the screen. The user mustclear this message by touching a button.The MESG? query returns 1 if the message has not been cleared and 0 if allmessages have been cleared.ExampleMESG warningMESG?Displays the message "WARNING" on the screen.Returns 1 if until the message has been cleared from the frontpanel, and 0 when all messages have been cleared.Self-TestThe *TST ? query performs a self-test and returns 0 if the test passes. Any codeother than 0 indicates an error or fault.Temperature and Oven CommandsOOFFTBDF (?) {i}TEMP?THST (?) {n}Turn Oven OffThe OOFF command terminates the melt sequence and turns the oven off.Display FormatThe TBDF command sets (queries) the Display Format of the temperature in theMelt and Tmeter screens. The parameter i selects a Display Format below.i format0 Big Numbers1 Trend Graph2 State IconExampleTBDF? Returns the temperature display format i.TBDF 1 Sets the temperature display to Trend Graph.Read TemperatureThe TEMP? query returns current temperature in degrees C.If the Melt Screen is displayed, TEMP? returns the oven temperature.If the Tmeter Screen is displayed, TEMP? returns the RTD temperature. If noRTD is attached, TEMP? returns its maximum value (799.0).Oven TimeoutThe THST command sets (queries) the Oven Off Timeout value. This is thetimeout for the oven to remain hot without use. If the timeout expires without amelting point measurement taking place, the oven will be turned off.The parameter n is the Oven Off Timeout value in milliseconds.ExampleTHST?THST 600000Returns the Oven Timeout in milliseconds.Sets the Timeout to 10 minutes (600,000 ms).OptiMelt Automated Melting Point System
