Reading out vacuum from Pfeiffer Vacuum Maxi Gauge TPG 256 A instrument

Hello,

 

I have a vacuum measurement unit. Type : tpg 256a. I have an 'Serial test.vi' that i use for communication with the instrument.

 

Case 1

I can successfully adjust contrast of instrument display by the following code:

Format: DCC [,xx] <CR>[<LF>]

Actual code to transmit: DCC ,10

Receive: 6<CR>[<LF>]

 

Getting number 6 on serial port is a posivive response

 

Case 2

I want to read pressure on channel 1.

Format: PRx <CR>[<LF>]

Actual code to transmit: PR1

Transmit: <ENQ>

Receive: nothing**

 

 

**I get nothing from instrument in case2. Datasheet says I should get 'x,x.xxxEsx <CR><LF>' as a response

 

Any ides plase why i do not get the appropriate reply from instrument?

 

Kind regards,

Balazs
