READ TEMPERATURE VOLTAGES  (Command ‘n’) 
 

Purpose:    Returns the most recently acquired raw temperature data for the specified  
 

 

  channels converted to engineering-unit Volts directly from the averaged A/D  

 

 

  counts.  It is similar to command ‘V,’ except that the raw data reflects a channel’s  

 

 

  temperature signal instead of its pressure signals.  Each datum returned in the  

 

 

  response will be in the specified high-precision data format.  This command is  

  intended for advanced users only and is not required for normal operation. 

 

“nppppf” 
 
‘n’  is the command letter 
‘pppp’ is the position field 
‘f’ is the format field 

“ dddd.. dddd” 
 
‘ dddd’ are the datum fields, each with a leading space (except f= 7 
or 8). 

 
Description:  The 4-character hex position field (pppp) specifies a 16-bit binary bit-map, with  
 

 

  each bit (set to 1) specifying a particular channel number (16-1, left-to-right).   

 
  The 

1-character 

format field (f) specifies the format of each datum field (dddd)  

 

 

that will be returned in the requested response.  The first datum returned in the  

 

 

response will be for the highest channel number supplied, and each (non-binary)  

 

 

datum will be preceded by a space character. Some formats may not be  

 

 

applicable to the specific type of data being requested.  Valid formats are shown  

 

 

in the following table: 

 

 

0  single binary float 

to  7-10-digit signed decimal “ [-xxx]x.xxxxxx” 

13 

1  single binary float 

to  8-digit hex integer “ xxxxxxxx” 

9 

2  double binary float 

to  16-digit hex integer “ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” 

17 

5  single binary float 

to  long integer (EU*1000) then to 8-digit hex integer 

9 

7  single binary float 

to  single binary float (big endian: msb first) 

4 

8  single binary float 

to  single binary float (little endian: lsb first)
