READ TRANSDUCER TEMPERATURE   (Command ‘t’) 

 
 

Purpose: 

Returns the most recently acquired engineering-unit temperature data (in ºC) for  

 

the specified channels.  Each datum returned in the response will be in the  

 

specified high-precision data format. 

 

“tppppf” 
 
‘t’  is the command letter 
‘pppp’ is the  position field 
‘f’ is the format field 

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

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

 

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

 

 The 

1-character 

format field (f) specifies the format of each data field (dddd) that  

  will be returned in the requested response.   The first datum returned in the  
  response will be for the highest channel number specified.  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)
