Data Acquisition (Polling) 
The micromanometer is designed to allow the user to perform polling through the use of a computer. The 
computer must send an upper case ‘V’ to the micromanometer while the micromanometer is taking 
measurements. The ‘V’ must be sent alone, without a carriage return or linefeed. The micromanometer 
will then output the values of the last measurements read. Note that the ‘V’ polling command will not 
start the micromanometer taking new measurements, therefore, it works much better if the 
micromanometer display mode is set to RUNAVG. 
 
You must write your own program to use the ‘V’ polling command. Therefore this command is only 
designed for medium-to-advanced programmers who need real-time data acquisition. The ‘V’ polling 
command cannot be used to request logged data.
