25 PELTIER THERMOCOUPLE PSYCHROMETER 6. OUTPUT FORMAT Instruction 25 stores all readings from a given TCP sequentially in Input Storage. The base temperature is first, followed by the zero reading, and then the sequence of wet-bulb readings with the zero reading subtracted. The series of readings from the next TCP then follows, etc. The number of Input Storage locations allocated must be based upon the number of TCPs excited by one A3497 Interface and the number of wet-bulb readings per TCP. When the Loop Instruction is used, the readings from each A3497's TCPs use the same Input Storage. The readings associated with a given A3497 must be transferred to Final Storage before progressing to the next A3497. All the readings associated with one A3497 can be transferred to Final Storage using a single Sample Instruction (#70) and the appropriate number of "repetitions." However, this technique results in the reading from all the TCPs being blocked together in one Output Array.

OUTPUT FORMAT
Instruction 25 stores all readings from a given
TCP sequentially in Input Storage.
The base
temperature is first, followed by the zero
reading, and then the sequence of wet-bulb
readings with the zero reading subtracted.
The
series of readings from the next TCP then
follows, etc.
The number of Input Storage
locations allocated must be based upon the
number of TCPs excited by one A3497
Interface and the number of wet-bulb readings
per TCP.
When the Loop Instruction is used,
the readings from each A3497's TCPs use the
same Input Storage.
The readings associated
with a given A3497 must be transferred to Final
Storage before progressing to the next A3497.
All the readings associated with one A3497 can
be transferred to Final Storage using a single
Sample Instruction (#70) and the appropriate
number of "repetitions."
However, this
technique results in the reading from all the
TCPs being blocked together in one Output
Array.
By setting the Output Flag and using a
Sample Instruction for each TCP associated
with the A3497, the readings for each TCP are
blocked into their own Output Array and contain
their own unique Output Array ID.
An example
of this latter type of output is shown in Table 2.
