1. Introduction<br />
To enable you to integrate Halogen Moisture Analyzers in your electronic data system in a<br />
simple manner <strong>and</strong> utilize their capabilities to the full, most Halogen Moisture Analyzer<br />
functions are available as appropriate comm<strong>and</strong>s via the data interface.<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ardization of the comm<strong>and</strong>s<br />
All new METTLER TOLEDO balances <strong>and</strong> Halogen Moisture Analyzers support the st<strong>and</strong>ardized<br />
comm<strong>and</strong> set "METTLER TOLEDO St<strong>and</strong>ard Interface Comm<strong>and</strong> Set" (<strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong>), which is<br />
divided into 4 <strong>level</strong>s, depending on the functionality of the equipment:<br />
• <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 0 Comm<strong>and</strong> set for the simplest balance, e.g. weighing cell<br />
• <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 1 Extension of the comm<strong>and</strong> set for st<strong>and</strong>ard balances, i.e. balances<br />
without integrated applications<br />
• <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 2 Extension of the comm<strong>and</strong> set family<br />
• <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 3 Application-specific comm<strong>and</strong>s as independent comm<strong>and</strong> set,<br />
e.g. <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 3 for Halogen Moisture Analyzers HR73 <strong>and</strong> HG53<br />
A particular distinguishing feature of this concept is that the comm<strong>and</strong>s combined in <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong><br />
<strong>level</strong> 0 <strong>and</strong> 1 are identical for all balances <strong>and</strong> instruments. Both the simplest weighing<br />
balance <strong>and</strong> a Halogen Moisture Analyzer recognize the comm<strong>and</strong>s of <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 0.<br />
What do the comm<strong>and</strong>s of <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 0 <strong>and</strong> 1 offer?<br />
You can use the comm<strong>and</strong>s of <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> <strong>level</strong> 0 <strong>and</strong> 1 to perform the following operations of<br />
the Halogen Moisture Analyzer via the interface:<br />
• request weighing results (raw data),<br />
• zero the balance,<br />
• identify <strong>MT</strong>-<strong>SICS</strong> implementation (version number),<br />
• identify the Halogen Moisture Analyzer (serial number),<br />
• reset the Halogen Moisture Analyzer,<br />
• control the display.<br />
