Overview  1 Overview INTRODUCTION The Crystal APM CPF series of pressure modules allow you to add pressure measurement capability to your JOFRA process calibrator. The APM uses the same reliable, high accuracy, digital temperature compensated technology found in the nVision, housed in a new rugged enclosure with an integrated cable to connect to your JOFRA calibrator. In addition, you can connect the APM to a hand-held pressure calibrator to increase the range of that calibrator.

Operation  2 Operation ADVANCED PRESSURE MODULE (APM) INSTRUCTIONS Pressure Connection Crystal CPF System: Medium Pressure Female (MPF) (1/4” medium pressure tube system with 7/16-20 threads). See our CPF Brochure for further information. CPF o-ring size and material: AS568A-012, Viton 80 durometer (P/N 3981). For most applications CPF Fittings can be hand tightened for use up to 10 000 psi / 700 bar / 70 MPa (no tools required).

Communications  6 Communications The APM interface uses a command – query – response protocol. Using this protocol the user can access the pressure measured by the module, as well as control and monitor the status of all the essential functions of the module. INTERFACE DESCRIPTION The APM can be remotely controlled using a PC terminal or computer program running the module in an automated system. A USB-based serial port connection is required for remote operation.

Communications  7 Command Processing The data entered into the module is processed as follows: • • • • • Data is taken as 7-bit ASCII. Characters are discarded if their decimal equivalent is less than 32 (space), except 10 (LF) and 13 (CR). The most significant data bit is ignored. Upper or lower case is acceptable. More than one command (Compound Commands) may be entered on one line. Commands are separated by semi-colons.
PAGE 10
Communications  8 In order to avoid interruptions in the command execution process: • • • • Turn on software ( XON / XOFF ) flow control on the PC side. Avoid long command lines (lines more than 96 characters). Send the *CLR command before starting the communication procedure. Check the error buffer sending the FAULT? command after the communication procedure is finished. REMOTE COMMANDS AND ERROR CODES The following tables list all the commands, and their descriptions, accepted by the APM.

Communications  10 ENTERING COMMANDS Commands for the APM may be entered in upper or lower case. At least one space must be entered between the command and parameter. All other spaces are optional. Almost all commands for the APM are sequential, and any overlapped commands will be indicated as such. This section will briefly explain each of the commands and describe their general use.

APMCAL  11 APMCAL CALIBRATION SOFTWARE APMCAL provides an easy way to calibrate your APM CPF Series Pressure Module. With a USB to serial cable, a computer running Windows, an APM module, and the APMCAL software program, you can: • • • • Calibrate the APM with an easy-to-use Userspan Wizard. View and change the calibration date. View module details including model number, serial number, and firmware version. Update the firmware version of the APM.
