Page 6: Communication Protocol
1.3 Communication Protocol Transmission format Messages are transmitted to the TPG 36x as ASCII strings in the form of mne- monic operating codes and parameters. All mnemonics comprise three ASCII characters. Spaces are ignored. <ETX> (CTRL C) clears the input buffer in the TPG 36x. Do not transmit any LINE FEEDS (<LF>) via the RS485 half duplex line for fear they could cause data collisions on the bus. -

1.5.2 - Combined This command combines different pressure ranges to one combined pressure pressure range (linear range, if several linear gauges with different full scales (F.S.) are connected to the TPG 362. Thus the pressure for this combined pressure range can be read out with gauges, best accuracy. -
