Question number FAQ-0819

Can the AutoStop function be set using CAN communication on the FM-3100?

In CAN communication, the AutoStop feature cannot be set, but if the conditions for AutoStop are manually set in the FM-3100 in advance, data can be read via CAN communication. The capabilities of CAN communication are limited to data acquisition and the commands Start, Stop, Hold, and Reset only. To set the AutoStop feature and perform measurements entirely online, please use RS-232C communication.
