The repeat number is exactly like the one channel command. It must be 0, 1, or 2.
Choosing repeat 1 will make the Model 9840 send you the desired value once. Choosing
repeat 2 will make the Model 9840 send the value at approximately 3 second intervals.
Choosing repeat 0 will turn off any values that are being sent by a repeat 2 command.

Print Command (P)
If the print option is purchased, the print command will fetch a full set of readings (like
pressing the front panel print button). These will be in the units that are currently selected
on the numerical display. The format is P(repeat number), where the repeat number must
be 0, 1, 2, or 3. Repeat 1 will return 1 set of readings to the RS232 terminal. Repeat 2
will return a set of readings approximately every three seconds (like the value command).
Repeat 0 will turn off printing that was started with repeat 2. Repeat 3 will send one set of
readings to the serial printer attached to the Model 9840 instead of to the RS232 terminal.

Reset Tare, Peak, Valley or Position Command (R)
This command allows you to reset the tare, peak, valley, or position readings. The format
is R(tare A)(peak A)(valley A) (tare B)(peak B)(valley B)(position select), where the selects
are either a 0 (don’t reset) or a 1 (reset). Thus you can reset any combination of these
readings with a single command.
Example:

readings with a single command.
