Electrostatic Classifier Firmware Commands List (select)
RSHV returns the high voltage setpoint.
Example: RSHV returns a value in the range 0.0 – 10000.0 v.
RSDETINFLOW returns the detector inlet flow setpoint.
Example: RSDETINFLOW returns 0 or 1, where 0 = low flow and 1 =
high flow
Read SMPS
Scan Parameters
RSSCANPARAM returns the SMPS scan parameters.
Example: RSSCANPARAM returns the following parameters.
tres, time resolution in milliseconds, fixed at 20 ms.
tlow, time DMA voltage held at vmin in milliseconds, 0 to 10000 ms
tup, time DMA voltage is ramped up in milliseconds, 0 to 300000 ms
thigh, time DMA voltage held at vmax in milliseconds, 0 to 10000 ms
tdown, time DMA voltage ramped down in milliseconds, 0 to 300000 ms
vmin, starting DMA voltage, 1.0 to 100000.0 v
vmax, ending DMA voltage, 1.0 to 10000.0 v
pol, polarity of DMA voltage, where -1 = negative voltage, 0 = detectors
with no voltage, 1 = DMA positive voltage
Read Classifier
Particle Diameter
RSPARTICLEDIAM returns the particle diameter setpoint.
Example: RSPARTICLEDIAM returns particle diameter in nanometers
from 1 to 5000
Read Tube
Length Between
Classifier and
Detector
RSTUBELENGTH returns the length of the tube between the classifier
and detector.
Example: RSTUBELENGTH returns 0.1 to 100.0 centimeters
Read Control of
Classifier
RSCONTROL returns information about classifier control.
Example: RSCONTROL returns OPEN, AIM, or GUI where OPEN =
classifier control, AIM = Aerosol Instrument Manager software control,
GUI = display screen control
Reads GPIO
Digital Output 0
RSGPIODIGOUT0 returns the setpoint GPIO digital output 0.
Example: RSGPIODIGOUT0 returns the values 0 or 1, where 0 = digital
low and 1 = digital high.
Reads GPIO
Digital Output 1
RSGPIODIGOUT1 returns the setpoint GPIO digital output 1.
Example: RSGPIODIGOUT1 returns the values 0 or 1, where 0 = digital
low and 1 = digital high.
