General Information
1.1
Introduction
This User’s Manual will:
!
Explain the electrical and pneumatic pressure connections for the NetScanner™
System Models 9016, 9021, and 9022 Intelligent Pressure Scanners.
Instruct you on how to program each module with computer software.
Instruct you on using the PSI start-up software to manipulate and acquire data from
each module.
!
!
Model 9016 is a pneumatic Intelligent Pressure Scanner, with integral pressure transducers and a
pneumatic calibration manifold.
Models 9021 and 9022 are all-media Intelligent Pressure Scanners which may be fitted with up to
twelve (12) external all-media transducers (9400, 9401, 9402, or thirdparty). Because of the external
natureof thesetransducers, andthe varietyof pneumatic or hydraulicmediasupported, the 9021/9022
do not contain an integral calibration manifold.
Both models provide engineering unit pressure data with guaranteed system accuracy. This is
achieved by reading factory-determined pressure and temperature engineering-unit data conversion
coefficients from their transducers’ nonvolatile memories at power-up. They also allow additional
adjustment coefficients to be “fine-tuned” with a multi-point calibration under host control (e.g.,
possibly utilizing optional Pressure Systems 903x Pressure Calibrator modules).
Models 9016, 9021, and 9022 provide 10-Base-T Ethernet communications for their Host Port (with
TCP/UDP/IP protocol).

NOTE:
The newest PSI Intelligent Pressure Scanner is the9022. Its serial numbers
begin with 1000. The 9022 is similar in function to the 9021 (using external
sensors), however, the 9022 features circular (military style connectors),
splash-proof case and connectors, antialiasing filters, and a jumper
selectable precision 5 or 10 volt excitation voltage for use with third-party
sensors. The overall dimensions of the 9022 are slightly larger than the
9021 due to a thicker top plate.

Description of Instruments
NetScanner™ System family of Intelligent Pressure Scanner modules are flexible pressure
measuring devices intended for use in test and production environments. Models are available
with 12 (Model 9021/9022), or 16 (Model 9016) channels, each with individual pneumatic or all-
media transducers per channel. The most distinctive features are highlighted below:
!
Pre-calibrated Transducer — a memory chip containing full calibration data is
embedded within each internal transducer (9016) or external Series 9400
transducer (9021/9022).
!
!
!
Individual transducer per measurement input channel — mixed transducer ranges
may be installed in a single 9016 module or attached to a 9021/9022 module.
Low cost per point — per-channel cost is less than a typical industrial pressure
transducer/transmitter.
High accuracy — Model 9016 pressure scanners are capable of accuracies up to
±0.05%. Accuracy is maintained through use of built-in re-zero, span, or multi-
point calibration capabilities. Model 9021/9022 pressure scanners provide
accuracies better than ±0.10% FS. Accuracy is maintained for six (6) months after
calibration.
!
Low thermal errors —each internal transducer and each external 904x transducer
contains an individual temperature sensor and thermal calibration data for internal
use by software correction algorithms. Thermal errors are reduced as low as
±0.001%FS/ºC over the calibrated temperature span.
!
!
!
Re-zero upon demand (Models 9016) — an integrated calibration valve allows for
automatic re-zero adjustment calibration of dry gas transducers to null offset drift
errors.
Ease of transducer replacement — factory calibrated transducer assemblies may
be stocked and rapidly replaced in the field. Storage of thermal coefficients
within the transducer allows for ‘plug and play’ transducer replacement.
Ease of calibration — each 9016 module contains a pneumatic calibration
manifold and software commands to automatically perform re-zero, span, and
multi-point adjustment calibrations. New offset and gain coefficients that result
from the most recent calibration may be stored in non-volatile transducer memory.

Measurement flexibility — each 9021/9022 module is capable of measuring
general purpose voltage signals on any channel not populated with a 9400-type
transducer. Full-scale ranges of ±50, ±100, ±250 and ±4500 mV are supported
through programmable gain amplifier circuitry.
Ease of use — modules have simple command sets and provide engineering units
output. They may interface directly to a desktop or laptop computer or they may
be interconnected into a large network controlled by many types of host
computers.
Connectivity — use of industry-standard communications network protocols to
control and read data from NetScanner™ System modules allows distribution to
the point of measurement and ensures compatibility with third party hardware and
software.
1.3
Options
1.3.1
Pressure Ranges
Model 9016 contains sixteen (16) DH200 transducers. These transducers are available with full
scale pressure ranges from 10" H2O (inches of water column) to 750 psid (2.5 kPa to 5200 kPa).
Transducers with different pressure ranges may be combined in a single module.
Models 9021 and 9022 can attach up to twelve (12) Series 9400 or third party external all-media
transducers. The 9400 gauge-type transducers are available with full-scale pressure ranges from
5 psi to 10,000 psi (35 kPa to 69000 kPa). The 9401 absolute-type transducers are available
with full-scale pressure ranges from 15 psia to 10,000 psia (105 kPa to 69000 kPa). The 9402
wet-wet differential type transducers are available with full scale ranges from 5 psi to 250 psi (35
kPa to 1725 kPa). Transducers with different pressure ranges may be attached to a single

Preparation for Use
2.3.1
Environment
All standard Intelligent Pressure Scanners are factory calibrated to be accurate over a specified
temperature range, but may be operated or stored over a wider temperature range (see NetScanner™
System Data Sheet, published separately). Operating or storing an instrument outside its specified
range(s) will result in a loss of measurement accuracy and may cause permanent damage to the
instrument electronics.
WARNING: Exceeding the specified storage or operating
temperatures may result in permanent damage to the
NetScanner™ System electronics.
2.3.2 Power
Models 9016, 9021, and 9022 Intelligent Pressure Scanners need only a single unregulated power
supply.
Models9016 and 9021/9022 have a single round, ruggedized connector through whichall power and
input/output signals pass as shown in Figure 2.1.
WARNING: Improper connection of power to the Intelligent Pressure
Scanner can result in permanent damage to module electronics.

2.3.3 Mounting and Module Dimensions
Detailed mechanical drawings for each module are included in Appendix D.
2.3.4
Network Communications Hookup
Every NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanner contains a Host Port, allowing it to be
interconnected in a network with other modules and a host computer. Models 9016, 9021, and 9022
have an Ethernet Host Port using TCP/IP and UDP/IP transmission protocols.
2.3.4.1
Ethernet Host Port Hookup
The Ethernet Host ports of every model 9016, 9021, and 9022 Intelligent Pressure Scanner module,
and its host computer, may be interconnected in a “star” network via a standard 10-Base-T
interconnection hub or switch. These standard devices will have their own power requirements.
Such a hub treats the host computer connection and all NetScanner™ System module connections
alike. Ethernet communications pin assignments for the 9016, 9021, and 9022 electrical connector
are shown in Figure 2.2. See Figure 2.3 for typical network topology.
Figure 2.2
Ethernet Host Port Connector Pins
The host and each module must have a unique Ethernet Hardware Address (a.k.a. MAC Address)
and a unique IP Address. The Ethernet Hardware address is generally fixed (at manufacturing time
of the Ethernet microprocessor board inside the module). The Ethernet Hardware address is shown
on each module’s label. The EthernetIntelligent PressureScannersare capable of supportingvarious
methods for IP address assignment, using either the factory default (static IP addressing) or user-

Pressure Systems, Inc.
NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
configured Static IP addressing or Dynamic IP addressassignment. Dynamic IP address assignment
is through the use of RARP or BOOTP protocols. Unless your application requires the use of
Dynamic IP address assignments, it is strongly suggested that the module be left configured for the
Static IP address protocol. This default method is typically the simplest method for using the
Intelligent Pressure Scanner.
In the StaticIP addressingmode, themodule will use a factory default IP addresson power-up. This
default address is set to 200.20x.yyy.zzz where x is derived from the module type (0 for 9016 and
1 for 9021/9022) and yyy.zzz is derived from the module serial number. A similar method is used
to calculate each module’s Ethernet hardware address shown on the module tag. Note that each of
these fields (separated by a period, ‘.’) is a decimal representation of a byte value. This means that
each field may have a maximum value of 255. For 9016 modules with serial less than 255, this
defaultIP address will be 200.200.0.zzz where zzz is the serial number (i.e., 9016 serial number 212
is IP 200.200.200.212) . For 9016 modules with serial numbers greater than 255, the default IP of
200.200.y.zzz is calculated as follows:
y is the integer result of dividing the module serial number by 256.
zzz is the remainder of dividing the serial number by 256 (serial number modulus 256).
These calculations may be verified by checking that y * 256 + zzz equals the original module serial
number. Once a module has powered-up and has assigned itself a default IP address it is capable of
communications.
An alternate method for assigning an IP address to an Ethernet module is referred to as a Dynamic
IP assignment. This method allows a module to have its IP address dynamically assigned at power-
up by an application running on a node of the TCP/IP or UDP/IP network. When configured for
Dynamic IP address assignment protocols, the reset module will broadcast its Ethernet hardware
(MAC) address on the network in a Dynamic IP request packet. This broadcast packet identifies the
module by its hardware address and requests that a dynamic IP server application return to it an IP
address for use. Once this broadcast message is received, the dynamic server application will then
return an IP address to the module in a dynamic IP reply packet. Most dynamic IP server
applications determine this IP address from a user maintained file that lists Ethernet hardware
addresses with their desired IP address. If modules areadded to the network or module IP addresses
are to be changed, the user can simply edit this configuration file. This capability is common on
most UNIX based machinesand is also available (although less common) in some TCP/IP packages
available for PC platforms.
Support of the Dynamic IP server protocol is not currently included in the Windows® 95/98 or
Windows® NT operating systems. In order to allow users of PC platforms to make use of the
DynamicIP capabilities of the 9016, 9021, and 9022, a simpleWindows® 95/98/NT application was
developed by Pressure Systems which is capable of acting as aDynamic IP server. This application
is referred to as BOOTP Lite since it actually makes use of the BOOTP protocol that closely
resembles the Dynamic IP request. Like traditional dynamic IP servers, this application allows the
user to configure a file that contains Ethernet hardware addresses and the corresponding IP address

to assign to those devices. This application is free of charge and capable of running as a background
program on Windows® 95/98/2000 and NT machines. It may be downloaded from the PSI internet
home page, www.PressureSystems.com.
NOTE: After closing the TCP/IP connection to the module, the host must wait 10
seconds before re-connecting.
Use of Static or Dynamic IP settings may be selected through the Set Operating Options ('w')
command. If you are unsure how your module is configured, check the Tx LED during module
power-up. If it begins to blinkperiodicallyafter the module power-up, your instrument is configured
for the Dynamic IP assignment protocol. (Tx LED remains OFF in static IP configuration.) If
configured for Dynamic IP assignment, a dynamic server must be configured on the network to
return an IP address to the module. Without an IP address, the host will be unable to open a TCP/IP
or UDP/IP connection to the module.

Diagnostic Port Hookup
2.3.5
Each NetScanner™ System module contains a Diagnostic Port that supports diagnostic and
operational functions. The Diagnostic Port has only a simple RS-232 asynchronous serial interface.
The connections are made via certain pins of its common circular connector. Cable connection
should be made according to Table 2.1.
Table 2.1
Diagnostic Port Wiring
NetScanner™
System
Diagnostic Port
Connector
GND
Tx
Rx
The RS-232 interface is capable of supporting simple asynchronous communications with fixed
parameters of 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. Only communication cable lengths
less than 30 feet (10 m) are recommended.
The 9016, 9021 and 9022 use the diagnostic interface for optional configuration and diagnostic
purposes only. The diagnostic port functions on the 9016, 9021, and 9022 are generallynot required
by the end user. Standard cables for these modules do not include diagnostic port connections.
2.3.6
Pressure Connections
All pneumatic connections to Model 9016 are found on the instrument top panel. The function of
each input port is clearly engraved or printed next to each input. Connections are through bulge
tubing, compression fittings or special user-supplied fittings on the tubing plate. All pneumatic
inputs to these modules should contain dry, non-corrosive gas only. For Model 9021/9022, all
pneumatic or hydraulic connections are to the individual 9400, 9401, or 9402 (or third party) all-
media transducers mounted externally from the module itself.
All 9016 standard Intelligent Pressure Scanners are supplied with the purge/leak check calibration
manifold. Through software commands, this valve may be placed in one of four positions; RUN,
CAL, PURGE, or LEAK-CHARGE. Pneumatic input requirements for these four operating
positions are described in the following sections.

NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
The following guidelines should be used when installing pressure connections to all NetScanner™
System Intelligent Pressure Scanner modules.
!
!
Always wear safety glasses when working with pressurized lines.
Ensure that user input pressure will not exceed the proof pressure ratings of the
corresponding instrument transducer. Applying excessive pressure to measurement
inputs can permanently damage the pressure transducers.
!
Ensure that all tubing material is rated for the expected pressure and environmental
conditions. Failure to use the proper tubing material mayresult in ruptured lines and
possible personal injury.
!
!
Ensure all high pressure lines are properly secured.
Place retaining springs over all bulge tube fittings to ensure pneumatic lines remain
attached and leak free. Springs should be pushed down on connections so that half
of the spring length extends past the tube bulge.
Warning: Introduction of contaminants or corrosive materials to the module
pneumatic inputs may damage module transducers, manifolds, and O-ring seals.
Users of the 9021 and 9022 may proceed to Section 2.3.7 since these modules do not require
any pneumatic connections to the module itself.
2.3.6.1
RUN Mode Inputs
The standard pneumatic tubing plates (for the 9016) contain sixteen numbered pneumatic input
channels. These numbered inputs are attached to corresponding pressure transducers inside the
instrument and should be pneumatically attached to the pressure measurement points under test.
The standard tubing plate also contains an input labeled RUN REF. The RUN REF input is
pneumaticallyconnected to the referenceside of all internal DH200 pressure transducers. TheRUN
REFconnection is used for situations where all channels have onereferencepressure. The reference
pressure may be as high as 250 PSI (1720 kPa). This input may also be left unattached to provide
atmospheric reference pressure.
When using instruments with the reference per channel option (true differential), two pneumatic
inputs will be provided for every numbered channel. These inputs are labeled ‘P’ and ‘R’. The ‘P’
connection is the test pressure input. The ‘R’ connection is the transducer reference input pressure.
Since each channel has its own reference pressure input, the RUN REF input is not provided on the
true differential tubing plate.

2.3.6.2
CAL Mode Inputs
The 9016 model tubing plates contain inputs labeled CAL and CAL REF. When the module’s
internal calibration valve is placed in the CAL/RE-ZERO position, all DH200 transducer pressure
inputs are pneumatically connected to the CAL input port. All DH200 reference inputs are
pneumatically connected to the CAL REF input port. The CAL input may be used to perform
on-line zero adjustment of the transducers. The CAL input may also be used for DH200 span
adjustment calibrations and accuracy tests ifappropriatepressurecalibrators (such as the 903x series)
are available. Span calibration of multi-range scanners mayalso utilize the CAL port if the highest
applied pressure does not exceed the proof pressure rating of any other installed transducer,
otherwise the individual transducers must be calibrated with the valve in the RUN position.
When the internal calibration valve is in the CAL/RE-ZERO position, the RUN inputs (RUN REF
and numbered input ports) are pneumaticallydead-ended to prevent migration of contaminants into
the instrument.
2.3.6.3
PURGE Mode Inputs
All standard 9016 models containa purge/leak check option. The purge option allows users to apply
positive pressure to the PURGE input which will then be vented out of the user input ports, forcing
contaminants (such as moisture) out of the pneumatic input lines. Note that on common reference
9016 scanners, only the numbered input ports will be purged (RUN REF is not purged). True
differential 9016 scanners will purge both the run and reference input ports for all channels. The
purge supply provided to the 9016 must always be a higher pressure than the highest pressure
present on the input ports of the module. The purge supply must also be capable of
maintaining proper purge pressure at the high flow rates encountered while the module is in
the purge mode.
Warning:
Failure to provide proper purge supply pressure
will result in migration of moisture and contaminants into the
9016 module which can result in permanent damage to module
components.
When commanded into the PURGE position, the purge input pressure will be connected to the
numbered measurement input ports allowing for a flow of air away from the instrument. The purge
cycle should be terminated by commanding the 9016 into a non-purge mode such as CAL. Purge
cycles should never be terminated by turning off the purge supply air while in the purge
position.

2.3.6.4
LEAK Mode Inputs
The purge/leak charge valve design includes a leak check feature capable of testing the integrity of
user pneumatic connections as well as those within the 9016 module. For the leak mode to be used,
all RUN mode pressure inputs must be dead ended (closed) by the user. When the 9016 is
commanded into the LEAK-CHARGE position, the CAL input port will be pneumatically
connected to module run side inputs. Common reference modules will connect only the numbered
run side inputs to CAL (RUN REF is not charged). True differential (reference per port) modules
will connect both the measurement input and reference port to CAL. While in the LEAK-
CHARGE position, a test pressure may be applied through the CAL port which will charge the dead
ended run side tubulation.
Test pressures applied to the CAL port during the leak check
operation must not exceed the full scale pressure of any internal
transducers.
Once the lines are charged, the 9016 may be commanded back to the RUN position. This will
reattach the charged run side lines to their corresponding internal transducer. Consecutive pressure
readings from the 9016 will now allow user calculation of the line leak rates. Once returned to the
RUN position, lack of a pressure indicates a gross leak. A slowly declining pressure indicates a
slight leak. A leak is more difficult to detect as tubing volume increases. In the case of true
differential units where both sides of the sensor are pressurized with the leak test pressure, an initial
differential pressure of 0.0 psi should be measured when the unit is placed in the RUN position. If
the measurement or RUN side of the channel leaks at a rate greater than the reference side, a
resultingnegative differential pressurewillbe measured. Likewise, if the reference port tubing leaks
at a rate greater than the measurement side, a resulting positive differential pressure will be
measured.
2.3.6.5
Supply Air
The 9016 models require a 80 psig minimum dry air (or inert gas) supply which is used to shift the
internal calibration valve between its different positions. Each module contains a fitting marked
“SUPPLY” for this input. Internal solenoid valves direct this supply pressure to the proper control
port on the calibration valve as required by instrument commands. The absence of sufficient supply
air to the module will prevent the calibration valve from shifting into requested positions (i.e.,RUN,
CAL, PURGE, LEAK-CHARGE).
WARNING! Supply air should not exceed 125 psi (875 kPa).
Excessive pressure may damage the internal solenoids.

9021 and 9022 Transducer Installation
Models 9021 and 9022 interface to twelve external transducers or signal sources. Although this
module is intended primarily for use with the Pressure Systems Model 9400, 9401, and 9402 All-
Media Transducers, it may also be used with many third party transducers with suitable analog
outputs. When using the 9022 with third party pressure sensors that lack a temperature output
signal, you must short the temperature signal input (pin D of the circular connector) to its
reference line (pin C of the circular connector). This may be done directly on the connector.
Transducers should be installed to the 9021/9022 as described on the following pages.
Warning: Always ensure that the Model 9021/9022 power is OFF before
connecting or disconnecting external transducers.
The 12 volt transducer supply line is fuse-protected. The 9021 modules have a green LED at the
bottom center of the case, indicating the presence of 12 volt power to the external transducers.
The indicator LED is not present on the 9022.
2.3.7.1
Installation of 9400, 9401 and 9402 Transducers
Warning: Improper electrical connections between the Model 9021/9022 and
external transducers can result in permanent damage to the scanner and the
external transducer.
9400, 9401, and 9402 transducer cables are typically ordered from Pressure Systems pre-wired
for use with the 9021/9022. If it is necessary to fabricate interface cables to interface the Series
9400 transducer to the 9021, the diagram in Figure 2.4 should be used. The 9021 makes use of
9-pin D-shell mating connectors. The 9022 uses circular (military) style connectors. See Figure
2.4a. Additional wiring diagrams can be found in Appendix C.

Installation of All Other Transducers
If other analog output transducers are used with the 9021 they must provide an analog output less
than the 9021 maximum input range of ±5 VDC. These transducers can be interfaced to the 9021
as shown in Figure 2.4. When using external transducers, both the 9021 and 9022 modules
provide a +12VDC unregulated supply voltage to power the transducer.
The 9022 has a jumper (JB1) on the PC-317 board for selecting the precision 5 or 10 VDC
excitation source. See Figure 2.5. JB1 is a three-pin jumper. When the two pins closest to the
edge of the board are connected (pins 2 and 3), the configuration is set for 10 VDC excitation.
When the center and the innermost pins are connected (pins 1 and 2), the configuration is set for 5
VDC excitation.
Please refer to Section 5.12 for module disassembly instructions if changes to the
excitation voltage are needed.

Case Grounding
The 9016 and 9021/9022 modules contain a case bypass capacitor which allows the module case
to be mounted on hardware with a small common mode line voltage (less than 20 Volts).
2.3.9
Trigger Input Signal
Models 9016, 9021, and 9022 each support the use of a data acquisition synchronization signal,
sometimes called “Hardware Trigger.” When configured through the Define/Control Host
Stream (‘c’) command, the trigger signal can be used to initiate and synchronize data acquisition
and stream outputs to the host.
The trigger signal is intended to be a 2-wire differential signal brought in through the 9016, 9021,
or 9022 main electrical connector. The signal may be driven by a standard TTL compatible
device. The switching threshold for this signal is set at 2.5 VDC.
2.3.10
Power Up Checks and Self-Diagnostics
Upon power-up of the module, the internal firmware will perform a number of self-diagnostic
checks. The results of these tests are reflected by the ‘OK’ LED on the top panel. The 9016 ,
9021, and 9022 modules complete the power up and self diagnostics in approximately 30 seconds.
See Chapter 6, Troubleshooting Guide for additional information and potential problem areas
during the power-up sequence.

Programming and Operation
3.1
Commands & Responses
3.1.1
Introduction
This chapter describes all commands a host computer program maysend to a NetScanner™ System
Intelligent Pressure Scanner module, as well as the data orstatus responses returned bythe module.
Most applications require a working knowledge of only a small number of these commands. Most
commands apply to all pressure scanner models. However, some apply only to specific models as
will be noted in the command description (e.g., Model 9016 or Model 9022).
Models 9016, 9021, and 9022 (stand alone scanner modules), have an Ethernet interface, and use
layered TCP/IP or UDP/IP transmission protocols to communicate with a host computer. All
commands/responses to/from NetScanner™ System modules are embedded in the data fields of
either a TCP or UDP packet header. In turn, these packets are themselves embedded in thedata field
of an IP packet header, which is embedded in the data field of an Ethernet packet header. Thus, the
term layered protocols.
3.1.1.1 TCP/UDP/IP Protocols
Both TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols are a well-established set of rules for communicating over a
network (LAN, intranet, or internet), and are independent of the network’s physical medium. All
the modules use the TCP/IP protocols for most commands and responses since the TCP layer
provides a robust error detection and correction mechanism. TCP/IP requires a formal connection
be established between host and module. The simpler UDP layer, requiring no formal connection,
is utilized for a subset of commands and query responses.
Usingthe underlyingbasic IP protocol, the host computerand interconnectedmodulesare all “peers”
that can communicate equally. Each “peer” must have its own unique “logical” IP Address (as well
as its own unique “physical” Ethernet Address) to be directly addressed. Any “peer” may initiate
transmissions without permission from the receiver. In the NetScanner™ System implementation,
the host computer is normally a client and generally initiates most transmissions by sending
commands to the modules, which are normally servers. However, a module can initiate its own

Pressure Systems, Inc.
NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
transmissions in some operating modes (e.g., the hardware-triggered or free-run autonomous host
streams generated by the Configure/Control Autonomous Host Streams (‘c’) command).
A “peer” may be directly addressed by its IP address (in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format), or by use of a
predefined logical name that allows its IP Address to be looked-up in the sender’s database or in a
central network server’s database. The Windows® 95/98/2000/NT operating systems provide a
simpletext file database called “Hosts.”Review the file “Hosts.sam”in the “C:\windows” directory.
Modify and rename it “Hosts.” (no file extension) to activate it.
Before the host computer and any module can communicate with the higher level TCP/IP protocols,
the host (client) must request a connection be established with the module (server). Each module
expects all such requests for connection to be requested by its IP Address, and directed to “well-
known” port 9000 (default). After the connection is made, a socket is established as alogical handle
to this connection. The host and module may then communicate, via this socket, until it is closed
or is lost at either module or host end, due to power failure or reboot). The host andmodule may also
communicate in a limited fashion without a connection, using the middle-level UDP/IP protocols.
In that case, the host simply broadcasts commands via port 7000, and each module (that chooses to
respond) returns the response on port 7001. Only a few commands use UDP/IP in NetScanner™
System modules.
3.1.2
Commands
The commands (and responses) used by Models 9016, 9021, and 9022 modules consist of short
strings of ASCII characters. The TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols allow for the transfer of either
printable ASCII characters or binary data. When using certain formats, internal binary data values
are often converted to ASCII-hex digit strings externally. Such values may include the ASCII
number characters ‘0’ through ‘9,’ the uppercase ASCII characters ‘A’ through ‘F,’ and the
lowercase letters ‘a’ through ‘f’.’ These hex values may represent bit maps of individual options, or
actual integer or floating point (IEEE) binary data values. In other cases (see optional format 7
below) binary data may be transmitted directly as 4-byte (32-bit) binary values without any
formatting change. Such binary transmissions use big-endian (default) byte ordering but may be
commanded to use little-endian for some data.
3.1.2.1 General Command Format
A typicalTCP/IP command (contained in the data field following a TCP packet header) is a variable-
length character string with the following general fields:
!
!
!
a 1-character command letter (c).
an optional position field (pppp), a variable length string of hexadecimal digits.
a variable number of optional datum fields ( dddd): each a variable length string, normally
formatted as a decimal number (with a leading space character, and with or without sign

Pressure Systems, Inc.
NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
and/or decimal point, as needed).
Using brackets ( [ ] ) to show optional elements, and ellipsis ( ...) to show indefinite repetition, a
typical TCP/IP command may be viewed schematically as follows:
“c[[[[p]p]p]p][ dddd][ dddd]...]”
From this schematic, it should be clear that the command letter (c) is required, the position field
(pppp) immediately follows it, and may have 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 characters, and there may be zero or
more datum fields ( dddd), as required. For simplicity, the variable length nature of each “ dddd”
string is not shown [with brackets] above, but the required leading space character is shown. The
position field is similarly simplified (as “pppp”) below.
A typical UDP/IP command (contained in the data field following a UDP packet header) is also a
variable length character string, but has a simpler format. Generally, it has a variable length
command string (cccccc), followed by one optional datum ( dddd) field (preceded by one space
character):
“cccccc[ dddd]”
Since there are only a few simple UDP/IP commands, all references to commands below should
assume TCP/IP commands, unless otherwise indicated.
3.1.2.2 Command Field
All NetScanner™ System modules recognize a set of predefined commands. Most are TCP/IP
commands, having only a single alphabetic letter for a command field. These are recognized only
when a formal socket connection is established with the host computer. A few are UDP/IP
commands with a longer command field. These are recognized any time the module has power
applied. All commands are functionally summarized in the following sections and detailed in
reference Section 3.2.
3.1.2.3 Position Field
The Model 9016 Intelligent Pressure Scanner may contain up to sixteen (16) separate input/output
channels, whereas the Models 9021 and 9022 have only twelve (12) channels. When commands
affect certain channels scanned by the module, the position field is used to identify those channels
as bits in a bit map. If a channel’s corresponding bit in the position field is set to a one (1), then that

Pressure Systems, Inc.
NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
channel is affected by the command. The least-significant (rightmost) bit 0 corresponds to Channel
1, and the most-significant (leftmost) bit 15 corresponds to Channel 16. Since neither model has
more than sixteen (16) channels, the position field will usually be 16-bits, represented by four (4)
ASCII-hex characters in the command. For example, onlyChannels 16 and 1 are selected below in
this 16-bit (4-character) position field:
Bit#

The above position field, with all applicable bits set (i.e., FFFF for 16-channel module), specifies
all channels. However, a module-independent variation allows a missing position fieldto designate
all channels — but only when there are no other parameters following the position field in the
command. For such commands, the hex position field may be reduced to 3, 2, or 1 characters when
no channel bits need be set (1) in the discarded high-order characters (nibbles).
The channel data requested will always be returned in order of
highest requested channel to lowest requested channel.
3.1.2.4 Datum Fields
Any datum fields in a command generally contain data to be sent to the module, usually specified
by a position field bit map. In some commands (when data are received from a module instead) no
datum fields are required in the command itself but the position field bit map is still used to specify
the order that data are returned in the command’s response. In either case, the order bits are set (to
1) in the position field bit map (highest channel # to lowest channel#, left to right) is the order these
datum fields are received or sent.
Each datum field may be variable in length, whether part of the command itself or the command’s
response. In its most common format, a datum begins with a space character (‘ ’), and is followed
by an optional sign, decimal digits, and a decimal point, as needed (e.g., ‘ -vv.vvvvvv’). For other
formats it may be a hex digit string or pure binary number.

3.1.2.5 Format Field
Some commands, that either send data to a module (as command parameters), or cause the host to
receive data (via command’s response), have an extra format parameter (f digit) appended to (or
specified in) the position field. This parameter, when specified (or implied bydefault), governs how
internal data are converted to/from external (user-visible) form.
!
The most common format (f=0) causes each datum (in command or response) to be
represented as printable ASCII numbers externally (with optional sign and decimal point as
needed). Internally, the modulesets/obtains each converted datum to/from a single precision
binary (32-bit) IEEE float.
!
Some formats (f=1, 2, 5) encode/decode the internal binary format to/from ASCII
hexadecimal external form. Some of these “hex dump” formats provide an external hex bit
map of the internal binary value (float or integer as appropriate). Format 5 may
encode/decode the internal float value to/from an intermediate scaled binary integer (e.g.,
float value * 1000 into integer, then to/from a hex bit map).
!
Two special “binary dump” formats (f=7 and f=8) may be used by some commands to
accept/returnbinary data directly from/to the user’s command/response. Such values are not
user-readable in their external form, but are directly machine readable and provide highly
compact storage without any accuracy loss due to formatting. Use of these formats allows
both the module and host program to operate in their most efficient, low overhead mode.
Format 7 returns the most significant byte first (i.e., big endian). Format 8 returns the least
significant byte first (i.e., little endian).
See the individual command descriptions for the formats a particular command recognizes.
3.1.3
Responses
Four (4) types of responses can be returned from a NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure
Scanner module:
!

!
an Error response,
an Acknowledge response,
an Acknowledge with Data response, or

The error response consists of the letter ‘N’ (for NAK, or negative acknowledge), followed by a 2-
digit hexadecimal error code. The following table lists the error codes that can be returned from a
NetScanner™ Systemmodule:

The Acknowledge response is returned from a module when a command is received that requires no
data to be returned, and no error is detected. It indicates successful parsing and execution of the last
received command. It consists of the letter ‘A’ (for ACK, or acknowledge).
The Acknowledge with Data response is returned when a module receives a command requesting
data. NetScanner™ System modules will typically return only the requested data values, each
preceded by a space character (except for format 7). No ‘A’ acknowledge letter begins this data
response. Data are returned for the highest requested channel number first.
3.1.3.1 Interpreting Offset Values (Re-zero Calibration Adjustment)
When a module is instructed to execute the command Calculate and Set Offsets (‘h’), a datum
corresponding to the calculated offset correction term (or coefficient) is returned for each affected
channel. Each such coefficient value is stored internally, and will be subtracted in all subsequently
calculated data conversions, to correct for zero drift effects. The command only returns them in the
response (in current engineering units (EU) of pressure) to allow the user to make reasonableness
checks on them. The Read Internal Coefficients (‘u’) command will return them on demand.

3.1.3.2 Interpreting Gain Values (Span Calibration Adjustment)
When a module is instructed to execute the command Calculate and Set Gains (‘Z’), a datum
corresponding to the calculated gain correction term (or coefficient) is returned for each affected
channel. Like the offset coefficient, each gain coefficient is stored internally, and will be used in
all subsequently calculated data conversions, to correct for gain change effects. The command
returns them in the response (as a unitless scale factor near 1.0) to allow the user to make
reasonablenesschecks on them. The Read Internal Coefficients (‘u’) command will return them on
demand.
3.1.3.3
Interpreting Engineering Units Output
All modules perform all internal pressurecalculations in engineering units of pounds per squareinch
(psi). By default, all pressure data in responses and command parameters will also be in psi. A
different engineering unit (e.g., kPa) may be obtained by changing an internal EU Pressure
Conversion Scaler (normally 1.0). See the “Read/Download Internal Coefficients” (‘u’/‘v’)
commands (array11, coefficient 01). Change this default multiplier value (1.0) to obtain units other
than psi.
3.1.4 Functional Command Overview
The various commands for 9016, 9021, and 9022 modules are best introduced by classifying them
into functional groups and then describing how each function is carried out ina typical system. The
following functions are defined for this purpose:

3.1.4.1 Startup Initialization
Since power supplies may bedistributed widely across a network of modules and host computer(s),
it is not uncommon for modules (singly or together) and the host to lose power independently.
Thus, their power maybe restored at different times. Startup initialization, for everymodule, must
normallybe performed when its power is restored, as each module enters default states after power-
up, which may not be the state the host computer had previously been operating in. Any previous
TCP/IP socket connection is also lost after power failure and must be re-established between host
and module before anyTCP/IP commands can be recognized by the module. These commands are
generallyused to detect that startup initialization has occurred (or to force reset at othertimes), after
which other commands may be used to restore the original operating condition.
With NetScanner ™ System modules, the Power-Up Clear (‘A’) command is used as a simple
command to elicit a known response from a module. Although this causes no internal function
withinthe module, it will result in an acknowledgment being returned to the host computerto verify
proper communications. The best way to detect that a power reset has occurred in a module is to
notice that the TCP/IP socket connection is no longer valid. At anypoint during moduleoperation,
the Reset (‘B’) command may be used to return any module to its default “reset” state. If the
module is then required to enter any other states (that were previously programmed for it by the
host), the host must then restore these states accordingly using the appropriate commands. This
reset command simply returns internal software parameters to a default state (as after power up or
reboot). It will not close the existing TCP/IP socket (as will power up or reboot).
The Set/Do Operating Options/Functions (‘w’) command has many purposes, but may first be
utilized during the module initialization stage. It may also be executed at any time during data
acquisition. However, some non-factory-default options of ‘w’ may become the new reset default,
if a particular function is used to establish them in non-volatile memory.
If any form of the Configure/Control Autonomous Host Streams (‘c’) command or the
Configure/Control Multi-Point Calibration (‘C’) command was in use before reset, it must be
executed again after the reset to restore it. Any other command, that establishes the module in a
non-default reset state, must be re-executed after a reset, if processing is to continue in that state.
The Network Query (“psi9000”) UDP/IP command may be used (at any time) to make each
module on the network identify itself to the host(s). A parameter, returned in each module’s
response, indicates whether or not a module still has a valid connection. This is a useful way to
detect if an overt reset occurs in a module. The module may be configured to emit this response
automatically after any reset (power on or reboot).

3.1.4.2 Module Data Acquisition
After power-up, all modules will begin to scan all attached transducer channels in channel number
order. Scanning will occur at the module’s maximum internal rate (using the previously stored
number of data averages per channel). The data are stored in an internal buffer, available for
retrieval by the host computer. Engineering units conversion of the scanned channels is
accomplished using thermal correction data extracted from each transducer at power-up. While
scanning, the module will automatically monitor the attached transducer’s temperature, correcting
engineering unit output for any temperature effects.
All modules effectively defer the host computer’s decision of “which channels of data do I want”
until that time when the host chooses to send read commands to actually retrieve the desired data
from the latest “buffered copy” of the continuously scanned, averaged, and engineering-unit-
converted data.
See Section 3.1.4.4 (Delivery of Acquired Data to Host) for more information.
While scanning, all modules take multiple samples and average each channel. The number of
samples per scanned channel defaults to 8, but may be set to one (to disable averaging) or to any
power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) to change the degree of averaging (and its effect on maximum scan
rate). The Set Operating Options (‘w’) command may change this variable at any time.
3.1.4.3 Calibration Adjustment of Offset/Gain Correction Coefficients
All NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanners have built in software commands (and
pneumatic hardware) to perform a periodic zero and span calibration adjustment of attached
pressuretransducers. Use of these periodic adjustments result in the highest possible data accuracy.
The result of these calibrations are a new set of internal offset and gain coefficients. These
correction coefficients are over and above those factory-determined and unchanging thermal
correction coefficients stored in each transducer's non-volatile memory. The factory coefficients
provide the basic engineering unit conversion capability, while also correcting for various non-
linear effects, including temperature effect compensation. The offset and gain correction
coefficients provide for fine linear fit adjustment of the factory calibration of each transducer. If
used properly, the periodic zero and span calibration adjustment should be the only
calibration required to maintain specified performance through the life of the Intelligent
Pressure Scanner.
It is generally necessary for the transducer to have real zero and span pressure (specified as 2 or
more values) applied when calibration adjustment is required. These pressure values may be
generated by secondary pressure standards, such as the model 903x calibrator module or by other
external means provided by thecustomer (such as a dead weight calibrator). For the more common
zero-only calibration adjustment, zero differential pressures can typically be provided without the

need for external pressure generators. All 9016 models have built-in pneumatic inputs (CAL side
inputs) and calibration manifolds required for directing the generated pressures to the various
channels of the module(s) being calibrated. Models 9021 and 9022 require such pneumatic/
hydraulicplumbing be provided bythe customer (if deemed necessary). Refer to Chapter 4of this
manual for detailed background and procedures for periodic calibration of the Intelligent
PressureScanners. A summary of the commands used for calibration purposes is included below.
The Calculate and Set Offsets (‘h’) command is executed only when a suitable “minimum” (e.g.,
zero) pressure has been applied to all channels of the module. The new offset coefficients that
result from execution of this command are stored in the module’s volatile (or temporary)
engineering-unit conversion database. They are also returned to the host in the command’s
response.
The Calculate and Set Gains (‘Z’) command should be executed only when “full-scale” (or other
suitablespecified up-scale) pressure has been applied to the appropriate channels of a module. The
new gain coefficients that result from this command are stored in the module’s volatile (or
temporary) engineering-unit conversion database. They are also returned to the host in the
command’s response.
In modules using firmware version 2.24 or later, a Configure/Control Multi-Point Calibration
(‘C’) command is provided. This command (actually 4 sub-commands) is an improvement over
the single calibration commands (‘h’ and ‘Z’) described above. Though ‘C’ provides for the
adjustment of the same offset and gain correction coefficients already described above, it does so
with two or more applied pressure calibration points. The final linear fit (i.e., new offset and gain
correctioncoefficients) is a “least squares” correction fit between all the calibration points specified.
This ‘C’ command is particularly useful in calibrating differential transducers over their entire
negative-to-positive range.
Although the calculated offset and gain correction coefficients are kept in volatile memory
following execution of the calibration commands, they may be stored in non-volatile transducer
memory following the execution of the calibration commands (for use by all subsequent EU
conversions).
This is accomplished with the Set/Do Operating Options (‘w’) command (Index 08 and 09).
Theabovecorrection coefficients are maintained internallyin IEEE floating-point format.TheRead
Internal Coefficients (‘u’) command and the Download Internal Coefficients (‘v’) command can
return (or manuallyset) calibration coefficients to the host in decimal or hex dump formats in their
responses.

3.1.4.4 Delivery of Acquired Data To Host
Several commandsapplyto host delivery of acquired data, either on demand or autonomously. The
Read High Precision Data (‘r’) command may be used to obtain high precision data (selected
channels in various formats). The modules also provide several high speed, high resolution output
commands. The Read High-Speed Data (‘b’) command is used to read “pure binary” engineering
unit pressure (all channels in the lowest overhead format). Use the ‘r’ and ‘b’ commands to get
acquired data on demand.
The module can also deliver EU pressure data in streams, which consist of TCP/IP or UDP/IP data
packets that arrive autonomously in the host (with data from selected channels being delivered in
various formats at various rates). Up to three independent streams may be configured, started,
stopped, and cleared with the Define/Control Autonomous Host Streams (‘c’) command. In
conjunction with hardwaretriggering, thisautonomous delivery method can also make themodule
acquire(as well as deliver)data in itsmost efficient and time-synchronized manner. This also frees
the host to receive, process, or record thesedata in its most efficient manner, since it neednot waste
time continually requesting new data with commands.
The modules also have special purpose on demand data acquisition commands, including: Read
Transducer Voltages(‘V’) and Read Transducer Raw A/D Counts(‘a’), which provide two views
of raw pressuredata. It has similar commands providingEU temperature (°C) and other raw views
ofeach channel’sspecialtemperaturesignal, includingReadTransducer Temperatures (‘t’), Read
Temperature A/D Counts (‘m’), and Read Temperature Voltages (‘n’). This command group is
generally used for diagnostic purposes. All of these special purpose data (plus other module status
information) mayalso be periodically delivered to the host automaticallyin any of thethree flexible
autonomous streams configured by the ‘c’ command.
3.1.4.5 Network Query and Control Functions
A special subset of three (3) UDP/IP commands may be sent to a module at any time power is
applied to it (i.e., neither a host socket connection nor a unique IP Address assignment is required).
Each such command is broadcast to all modules (i.e., sent to IP Address 255.255.255.255) via Port
7000, and any module wishing to respond will return a UDP/IP broadcast response via Port 7001.
Only one of these commands returns a response. This is the Network Query (“psi9000”)
command. The others cause the module to be re-booted, therefore no response is possible. One
command changes the way the module gets its IP address assignment (i.e., dynamically from a
server or statically from factory-set internal data).

3.1.4.6 Other Functions
Some commands may be used at anytime to obtain information about the internal setup and status
of a module. The Read Module Status (‘q’) command is an example. Also, the Set/Do Operating
Options (‘w’) command, though generally used after power-up reset, may also be used at other
times to change system operation. The actualfeedback positionstatusof internal valves, and several
temperature status conditions may be configured to be periodically delivered to the host
automatically in any of the three autonomous streams configured by the ‘c’ command.

CONFIGURE/CONTROL MULTI-POINT CALIBRATION (Command ‘C’)
Purpose:
This command is actually four (4) sub-commands. The first configures and starts
aMulti-Point Calibrationadjustment function for selected channelsin the module.
Another is repeated multiple times to collect data for each defined calibration point.
Another ends the calibration function normally by calculating new offset and gain
adjustment coefficients from the collected data. It then returns the module to its
normal state, but with improved accuracy. A final sub-command is used only if it
becomes necessaryto abort the calibration function while in progress. The general
form of all sub-commands is described in the table below. Subsequent pages
separately describe each individual sub-command and give examples of each.
This ‘C’ command (with sub-commands) is available only in
modules that have upgraded to firmware Version 2.24 or later.
Command “C ii[ dddd]... ”
‘C’ is the command letter.
‘ ii’ is a required sub-command index preceded by a space character.
‘ dddd’ are zero or more optional datum (or parameter) fields, each preceded
by a space character. These vary with the sub-command used.
Depends upon the particular sub-command (ii) used.
Response
Description: The four ‘C’ sub-commands configure and control operation of a Multi-Point
Calibration function that is similar to the simpler re-zero and span calibration
adjustment functions (see separate ‘h’ and ‘Z’ commands). However, ‘C’ adjusts
both the offset and gain correction coefficients of each affected transducer at the
same time, using two or more calibration points. Thus, instead of simply
calculating a new linear (i.e., straight line) adjustment function that passes through
the supplied zero and span calibration points, it calculates a best-fit straight line,
using the least squares method, that comes “as close as possible” to all the
supplied calibration points. This correction method provides the very best
adjustment throughout the entire range (negative to positive) of a differential
transducer.
NOTE: Avoid confusing this Calibrate command ‘C’ (upper case C) with the
Configure/Control Autonomous Host Streams command ‘c’ (lower case c).
Like “c,”
but unlike most other module commands, all sub-commands of this command require a
space between the command id (‘C’) and the first parameter (ii).

Command ‘C’— Sub-command Index 00: Configure & Start Multi-Point Calibration
This sub-command has four (4) additional required parameters used to configure and start the
Multi-Point Calibration function.
Command “C 00 pppp npts ord avg”
‘C’ is the command letter.
‘ 00’ is the sub-command index (ii) for Configure & Start.
‘ pppp’ is a 1-4 hex digit position field (channel selection bit map), that
selects any of the 1-16 (9016) or 1-12 (9021/9022) internal channels to be
affected by the multi-point calibration.
‘ npts’ is the number of unique calibration points (between 1 and 19) to be
supplied during the calibration function.
‘ ord’ is the order of the adjustment fit, which currently must be 1 for a 1st
order linear fit of the calibration data (i.e., a straight line).
‘ avg’ is the number of A/D data samples collected and averaged for each
calibration point supplied (must be a power of 2 in the set 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32)
NOTE: all parameters are separated by a space.
Response “A”
‘A’ is the acknowledge letter and is returned if all parameters are supplied
with reasonable values. Else, an error (‘N’) response is returned.
Description: Configures and starts the Multi-Point Calibration function. It specifies the
particular channels (pppp) whose offset and span adjustment coefficients will be
replaced when the function is completed. All specified channels must have the
same full-scale pressure range. Modules with more than one range of internal
transducers installed must have channels from each range calibrated separately.
This sub-command immediately alters the module’s normal data acquisition,
processes A/D samples for average count (default = 8, or as per the ‘w10dd’
command), and uses the sub-command’s avg parameter sample count instead. A
larger count (e.g., 32) is encouraged for calibration purposes. The original sample
count will not be restored until the calibration function ends or is aborted (per other
sub-commands described on the following pages).

first four (4) channels of the module. Three (3) pressure calibration points will by
supplied when we continue this function later (see example for ‘01’ sub-command
below). A linear (1st order) fit will be used to obtain a new set of offset and gain
correction coefficients for these four (4) channels. The maximum average sample
count (32) is used to collect each calibration data point, so as tominimize any noise
in the data samples. The module’s data acquisition process is altered immediately
to collect the increased number of averages.

Command ‘C’— Sub-command Index 01: Collect Data for a Calibration Point
This sub-command has two (2) additional required parameters.
Command “C 01 pnt pppp.pppp”
‘C’ is the command letter.
‘ 01’ is the sub-command index (ii) for Collect Data
‘ pnt’ identifies a particular calibration point that will be supplied. It
must be between 1 and npts, where npts was a parameter of the previously
executed Configure & Start (‘00’) sub-command.
‘ pppp.pppp’ is the pressure value (in current EU) that is actually applied
currently to the module’s transducers by a precision calibrator.
NOTE: all parameters are separated by a space.
Response “pppp.pppp [pppp.pppp]...”
The actual measured pressure values (in current EU) from each affected
channel of the module (highest numbered specified channel first, lowest
numbered specified channel last, as per the pppp bit map parameter of the
Configure & Start (‘00’) sub-command. The decimal response datum
format (format 0) is always used.
Description: This sub-command (to be executed two or more times) carries out the data
collection phase of the Multi-Point Calibration function for exactly one (1)
calibration point (i.e., per parameter pnt). Each execution applies a specified
pressure value; then collects, averages, and stores the datafor that calibration point.
It must be repeated until all pressure points, as specified bythe npts parameter of the
originalConfigure &Start(‘00’) sub-command, are appliedand theirdata collected.
For each particular point, enter the sub-command after that point’s pressure value
has been properly applied to the module, and that value is stable (unchanging).
Pressure may be applied to either the Cal or Run ports, as necessary. Use a Model
903x Calibrator or some other suitable precision pressure source to generate the
pressure.

It is not necessary to enter the two or more calibration points in strict numerical
order (i.e., 1, 2, ... npts). Any convenient entry order is allowed, though each
point’s actual pressure value must be correctly stated (with the pppp.pppp
parameter) when executed. Previously entered points may be reentered if it is
necessary to account for hysteresis. However, all the points specified by the npts
parameteroftheConfigure &Start(‘00’)sub-command mustbe suppliedbefore the
final Calculate and Apply (‘02’) sub-command can be executed, else an error will
result.
Example:
!
Supply each of the previously-specified three (3) pressure calibration points to the
Multi-Point Calibration function, as was stated in the previous example of the
Configure and Start (‘00’) sub-command. Assume that all the affected four (4)
channels have differential transducers with the same -5 to +5 psi range. Include at
least one pressure point in the negative range of these transducers.

This sub-command has no additional parameters.
Command “C 02”
‘C’ is the command letter.
‘ 02’ is the sub-command index (ii) for Calculate & Apply
NOTE: all parameters are separated by a space.
Response “A”
‘A’ is the acknowledge letter — returned if the required number of
calibration data points had their data successfully collected previously,
and the resulting calculated data is reasonable. Else, an error (‘N’)
response is returned.
Description: This sub-command finishes the Multi-Point Calibration function, previously
started by the Configure &Start (‘00’) sub-command. It calculates new correction
coefficients using the pressure data collected by all required executions of the
Collect Data (‘01’) sub-command.
All the averaged data points collected previously are checked for reasonableness,
and then a new set of zero and gain correction coefficients are calculated by the
least-squares method for each channel (transducer) affected by the calibration.
These are stored in the module’s volatile memoryfor use by all subsequent EU data
conversion of these channels until the module is reset or powered off. These
coefficients may be stored in the non-volatile memory of the module’s transducers
with the ‘w’ command (see indexes 08 and 09 for that command). The latest
calculated zero and gain coefficients maybe inspected with the ‘u’ command at any
time for any channel.
Finally, this sub-command restores the original “A/D samples for averaging” count
used by the module’s data acquisitionprocess to the value that was in use before the
Multi-Point Calibration function was originally started.

number of calibration points (per ‘00’ sub-command) were not supplied with
reasonable pressure data values (via the multiple ‘01’ sub-commands), or the
collected data yielded new calculated coefficientswith unreasonable values. In that
case, the other two commands should not be used.
If execution of the last two ‘w’ commands is skipped above, the new calibration
data obtained will be stored only in volatile storage, and will be available for use
only until the module is RESET or loses power.

CALCULATE AND SET GAINS (Command ‘Z’)
Purpose: Instructs a module to calculate new gain coefficients, with either full-scale pressure
(or a specified pressure) applied to the specified channels. These new coefficients
updatepart of the module’s internal calibration coefficientdatabase, used to convert
anysubsequent raw data(from any ofthe specified channels) into engineering units
data. The new gain values are also returned in the response. This command is
sometimes called a Span or Span-only calibration.
Command “Zpppp[ vv.vvvv]”
‘Z’ is the command letter
‘pppp’ is the position field
‘ vv.vvvv’ is an [optional] pressure value, preceded by a space character.
Response “g.gggg .. g.gggg”
‘g.gggg’ are the actual gain data values returned, each preceded by a space.
Description: The position field may have0 or 4 characters. If no position field is specified, gain
coefficients for all module input channels will be calculated and returned. If a
position field is specified, gain coefficients for only the channels whose bits are set
(=1) will be calculated and returned. If the optional pressure value (vv.vvvv) is
specified, the position field must be 4 characters, even when all channels are to be
specified. Gain values are returned in the response in order of highest specified
channel to lowest specified channel, with data formatted per an implied decimal
format (f=0).
Normally this command requires that the exact full scale input pressure be applied
to the affected channels. The optional pressure value [ vv.vvvv] allows the user to
specify any suitable upscale pressure in the current engineering units. For best
results, pressures in excess of 90% of full scale should be applied. A leading space
character must precede the pressure value parameter.
The desired calibrating pressure must be applied to allof the specified channels and
allowed to stabilize before this command is executed. Such a pressure is
presumably generated bya separate model 903x calibrator module or suitable user-
supplied substitute.

Noticethat unlike theCalculate and SetOffsets(‘h’)command, thiscommand does
not automatically move a 9016 module’s calibration valve to its Cal position. A
command to do this must precede this command. The reader is referred to Chapter
4, Section 4.3 for additional details concerning the performance of a Span
Calibration.
Internal firmware limits calculated gains to values are software limited to values
between 0.0 and 100.0. Any calculated value outside of this range will result in the
gain coefficient being set to 1.00.
NOTE: The calculated gain values from the latest ‘Z’ command will be lost
when the module is powered off. To save these gain terms to each
transducer’s non-volatile memory, refer to the Set Operating Options (‘w’)
command (index 09).
Example:
!
Send TCP/IP command to a module (via its open socket) to calculate and set gain
coefficients for channels 8 through 4. Instruct the module to use 14.8890 psi as the
applied pressure instead of each transducer’s full-scale value:
“Z00F8 14.8890”
Read response, containing the new gain values (also stored in the module’s volatile
main memory):
“1.000212 1.000269 1.000437 1.000145 .999670”
Actual gain valuesare returned inthe above response as decimal ASCIIstrings, each
preceded by a space character. From left-to-right: they are for channels 8, 7, 6, 5,

READ TRANSDUCER A/D COUNTS (Command ‘a’)
Purpose: Returns the most recently acquired raw pressure data for the specified channels in
averaged signed A/D counts (in the range -32768 to +32767). This simple data
bypasses any usage of the transducer’s factory-calculated coefficients or the final
calibrationprocess’s adjustment coefficients(offset andgain). Each datum returned
in the response will be in the specified high-precision data format, but representing
A/D counts as a signed integer average. (The formula for converting A/D counts to
volts is: Volts = A/DCounts * 5/32768) This command is intended for advanced
users only and is not required for normal operation.
Command “appppf”
‘a’ is the command letter
‘pppp’ is the position field
‘f’ is the format field
Response
“ dddd.. dddd”
‘ dddd’ are the data fields, each with leading space (except f = 7 or 8).
Description: The 4-character hex position field (pppp) specifies a 16-bit binary bit-map, with
each bit (set to 1) specifying a particular channel number (16-1, left-to-right). Only
channels 12-1 are allowed for Models 9021 and 9022.
The 1-character format field (f) specifies the format of each data field (dddd) that

READ HIGH-SPEED DATA (Command ‘b’)
Purpose: Returns the most recent scanned/averaged data from all channels of the module as
fastas possible. Data is returneddirectlyin its internal (IEEE single-precision float)
binary form (as per implied format 7). It is used as a faster alternative to the Read
High-Precision Data (‘r’) command, since ‘b’ does not have to parse the position
or format parameters, nor does it have transform or encodethe internal datainto any
other format when the response is generated.
Command “b”
‘b’ is the command letter
“aaaabbbbcccc..rrrr”
Response
each 4-byte datum (e.g, ‘aaaa’) is a non-human readable 32-bit (4-byte) big-
endian value (format 7) representing an IEEE single-precision internal float
value.
Description: Returns data for all of the module’s channels, in order highest channel number to
lowestchannel number. Thus for a Model 9016, channel#16 will always be the first
4-byte (32-bit binary, big-endian, IEEE floating-point) value (‘aaaa’) sent in the
response. For Models 9021 and 9022, channel #12 will be first. It is followed by
similar values for lower numbered channels.
Unless the EU conversion scalar is altered, the returned data will be in units of psi.
Example:
!
Send command to a module (via its “socket” connection) to return data as fast
possible:
“b”
Data from the most recent scan of all the module’s channels are returned in pure
binary form, 4-bytes per channel (big endian):

DEFINE/CONTROL AUTONOMOUS HOST STREAMS (Command ‘c’)
Purpose:
Defines and controls the autonomous deliveryof any ofup to three concurrent high-
speed autonomous data streams to the host computer. Such data streams may be
delivered “continuously” without bound (i.e., until a command explicitly stops
them), or be delivered in a “limited” amount (until a pre-specified fixed number of
datapackets have been sent). Each packet delivered maybe synchronized bya user-
supplied “hardware trigger” or each packet may be delivered periodically as
synchronized by an internal software clock. These concurrent host streams are an
alternate method of acquiring/delivering data rather than using the Read High-
Precision Data (‘r’) command, the Read High-Speed Data (‘b’) command or the
many other special purpose read commands (‘V,’ ‘a,’ ‘t,’ ‘m,’ and ‘n,’) for reading
alternate data values.
Host data streams, once activated in a module, deliver a sequence of TCP/IP or
UDP/IP data packets autonomously to the host (i.e., without the host sending any
particular command to the module to request each packet).
WARNING: If these data streams are defined to occur at high rates, then each data
packet received by the host must be processed and disposed of in a timely
manner. NetScanner™ System modules are capable of generating autonomous
data faster than some “slow” hosts (or incapable software) can absorb.
Various sub-commands (described on the following pages) are used to identify the
various definition and control options of the following general ‘c’ command.
Command
“c ii[ dddd] ... ”
‘c’ is the command letter
‘ ii’ is a space + a sub-command index (augment code)
‘ dddd’ are one or more optional datum fields, each preceded by a space
character which are parameters that differ per augment code ii.
NOTE: all parameters are separated by a space.

NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
Description: The firmware of anymodule, once fully initialized, continuouslyscans and converts
data for all pressure channels at the highest possible speed. The result of such
scanning is a continuously updated EU data buffer, available to three concurrent
host data delivery tasks, or available to other standard data acquisition commands
in the module. Each host delivery task can grab engineering-unit data values from
the EU data buffer and deliver them to the host in its own programmable data
stream (a sequence of TCP/IP or UDP/IP packets that autonomously arrive in the
host, as long as the host has enough TCP/IP buffering space to hold them).
Specialaugments of this command, called sub-commands (distinguished bythe first
parameterii) canconfigure each data stream with the particular channels whose data
are delivered, the datum format, the delivery rate, and other characteristics. It can
also start, stop, or undefine a single stream or all defined streams.
The maximum rate of any one stream’s delivery is practically limited to the
maximum possible scan and data conversion rate of all the module’s channels.
Normally, these programmable host streams deliver host data at rates equal to or
slower than this natural cycle. For a typical application, the first stream delivers a
few channels at a high rate as defined by a hardware trigger. The second stream
delivers other channels at a medium rate(some multiple of the trigger), and the third
stream can deliverstill other channels at a slow rate (a larger multiple of the trigger).
In another application, the three streams might all be programmed to deliver all the
same channels, but the first stream might deliver pressure data (EU only) at high
speed. The secondstream might deliver pressure counts or volts at a slower rate, and
the third stream might deliver temperature in all forms (EU, counts, volts) at a very
slow rate.
NOTE:
When using hardware trigger inputs to synchronize data
stream outputs, the frequency of the trigger source should be
no more than 200Hz even if the requested output is 100Hz or
less.
NOTE:
Avoid confusing this Configure/Control Autonomous Host
Streams command ‘c’ (lower case c) with the Configure/Control
Multi-Point Calibration command ‘C’ (upper case C). Like ‘C’,
but unlike most other module commands, all sub-commands of
thiscommand require aspace between the command id(‘c’) and
the first parameter (ii).

Description: Configures a particular stream (‘st’) to deliver data packets autonomously to the
host, with each packet containing selected acquired data for the channels specified.
The channels are specified by a standard 16-bit position field bit map (encoded as
a 1-4 hex digit position field ([[[[p]p]p]p). A separate sub-command (ii=05) may be
used to select which acquired data are included in each stream. By default, only
pressure (EU) data are selected (if ii=05 sub-command is never executed for the
stream).
The individual data packets of the stream may be synchronized with either an
externaluser-suppliedhardwaretrigger ora periodic clockinterrupt generatedinside
each module. This choice is made with the sync type ‘sync’ parameter (a single
digit) where: 0 = synchronize with hardware trigger; 1= synchronize with periodic

When the hardware trigger is used to synchronize data output ( sync = 0), it is
assumed that the user would prefer to also synchronize internal data acquisition
cycle. For this reason, when a stream utilizing hardware trigger is started, the
modulefirmware switchesout ofthe free-running continuous data acquisition mode
described earlier. Instead, the module waits in an idle mode until a hardware trigger
is received to initiate a host stream output. Only on the receipt of that hardware
trigger will the module scan and EU convert all attached channels. Following
completion of the acquisition and EU conversion cycle, the module will also deliver
the requested data channels to the host. In this manner, users are provided with
highly synchronized data acquisition and delivery from one or more modules. If a
module waits in the idle mode for an extended period of time without receiving a
data request, it will periodically initiate its own internal data acquisition cycles so
as to update internal thermal coefficients.
When all hardware triggered streams are complete or aborted, an individual module
will return to the default mode of continuous scanning and EU conversion.
When the internal software timer is used to control host stream output rates
(sync=1), note thatinternal clock frequency variances will result in slightly different
timing between modules. Although these differences in timing are slight, they may
resultin noticeable differences in output timing between modulesover a long period
of time. If highly synchronized data output is required from multiple modules, the
hardware trigger mode should be used.
The period ‘per’ parameter is a positive decimal integer count (from 0 to
2147483647, specified with 1 to 10 numeric digits as needed), and its meaning
depends on the sync type ‘sync’ parameter described above.

Description: This sub-command starts a particular specified host stream (st=1-3), or starts all

stream packet begins with a 5-byte fixed-format (binary) data header (tssss). The
first byte (t) identifies the host stream, while a 32-bit unsigned binary sequence

the first packet returned by a stream and increment for each other returned packet
of that stream. In the case of a “continuous” data stream, the sequence number may

Command ‘c’ — Sub-command Index 05: Select Data in a Stream
This sub-command sets options that cause a specified stream to deliver specific kinds of
information to host. By default, only Pressure EU data are delivered for the channels already
specified by the “00” command.
Command
“c 05 st bbbb”
‘c’ is the command letter
‘05’ is the sub-command index (‘ii’) for Select Data.
‘st’ is the stream id digit (1, 2, or 3, (0 not allowed)
‘ bbbb’ is the hex option field (bit map) to select which options will be
returned in the data stream (see table)
NOTE: all parameters are separated by a space character.
Response
“A”
‘A’is the acknowledge letter.
Description:
If this sub-command is never executed for a particular stream, then
Pressure EU Data are delivered (by default) in that stream
following the fixed format binary header ( tssss as described by the
“01” sub-command). However, this sub-command may also delete
these default pressure readings from a stream (by not specifying
them) as well as add other selected acquired data to a stream (by
specifying them).
The bit map values (shown in the following table) may be added
together to specify all the actual data groups that will be delivered
in each packet of the specified stream. The first two table entries, if
their “bits” are specified, will cause two-byte binary (16-bit, big
endian) status values to be delivered in the stream packet
(immediately following the binary stream header). The third table
entry, if specified, will cause the Pressure EU Data to be delivered
(next), per the specified format (f), and for just the channels
specified in the configured stream. The remaining table entries will
cause other special data groups (i.e., raw pressures and EU
temperature values, also in A/D counts or voltage forms) to also be
delivered in each stream packet. Each of these special data groups
is also output, if its “bit” is specified, in the order of its table entry
(within the packet). Each group will also have a datum per the
specified channels, and be in the specified format (per f).

Command ‘c’ — Sub-command Index 06: Select Protocol For Stream Delivery
Command
“c 06 st pro [remport [ipaddr]]”
‘c’ is the command letter.
‘ 06’ is the sub-command index (ii) for Select Protocol.
‘ st’ is the stream id digit (0=the ONLY acceptable entry).
‘ pro’ is the protocol id digit (1=UDP/IP, 0=TCP/IP)
‘ remport’ is an optional remote port number to which each UDP
stream is directed in the host (port 9000 is the default if
unspecified). It is ignored if pro=0.
‘ ipaddr’ is an optional host IP address to which each UDP stream
is directed (default is the host IP address per current TCP
connection that sent this command). It is ignored if pro=0.
NOTE: all parameters separated by a space.
Response
“A”
‘A’ is the acknowledge letter.
Description: This command sets the protocol by which every configured autonomous stream is
delivered to the host. It must be executed after streams are configured, but
before they are enabled. This command is only available to modules with
firmware revision 2.28 or higher.
By default, streams are delivered via the same TCP/IP protocol used to receive
commands from host (i.e., via the existing TCP/IP connection used to send this
command). However, for special circumstances, all autonomous streams may be
delivered to the host via the UDP/IP protocol instead. This command is required
onlywhen UDP/IP is to be used. It also can restore thedefault protocol (to TCP/IP)
once it has been changed. The TCP/IP version of the command ignores the optional
(pro and ipaddr) parameters, which have meaning only to the UDP/IP protocol.
Though the command has a stream parameter, it is currentlylimited to changing the
protocol of all defined streams at the same time (i.e., parameter st must be = 0,
meaning all configured streams).
The optional remport parameter may be any value in the range 1024 to 65535.
However, remport= 7001 should be avoided, since NetScannermodules emit UDP
Query responses to that port, and most host programs should have a UDP socket
already bound to that port for receiving these special responses. The choice of

Pressure Systems, Inc.
NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
remport parameter will affect the wayhost software must handle multiple modules
sending streams. If every module uses the same port, then a single host socket can
be bound to that port to receive all responses from all modules. The remote IP
address, given to that socket, at time of receipt of the stream’s datagram, will
identify the particular module who sent the datagram. Alternately, every module
maybe given a unique remportnumber, requiring that a host program bind a unique
UDP socket to each of these unique remport numbers. Then, when a particular
socket receives a UDP datagram to its unique port, the module sending it is
automatically identified.
The optional ipaddr parameter is normally unspecified, causing it to default to use
the IP address of the current TCP/IP connection. That way the host need not have
to be aware of its own IP address. This parameter is provided in case a special host
has multiple network interfaces andwants to use more than one. When used, ipaddr
requires four dotted numeric fields (d.d.d.d). Each d is a 1-3 digit decimal number
in the range 0-255. The ipaddr = 255.255.255.255 is best avoided, unless the UDP
datagrams of streams are to be broadcast to all network nodes.
Examples:
!
Configure all streams to be delivered via UDP/IP protocol. Host expects the UDP
datagrams to arrive via port 7500. The IP Address of the current TCP/IP connection
is also used to send each UDP datagram.
“c 06 0 1 7500”
Read response:
“A”

Configure all streams to be delivered via the default TCP/IP protocol.

CALCULATE AND SET OFFSETS (Command ‘h’)
Purpose: Instructsa module to calculate new offset coefficientswith zerodifferential pressure
(or a specified “generated” pressure) applied to the specified channels. These new
coefficients update part of the module’s internal calibration coefficient database,
used to convert any subsequent raw data into engineering units data. The new
offset values are also returned in the response. This command is sometimes called
a Re-zero or zero-only calibration.
Command “hpppp [vv.vvvv]”
‘h’ is the command letter
‘pppp’ is the position field
‘vv.vvvv’ is an [optional] applied pressure value preceded by a space
character
Response
“g.gggg .. [g.gggg]...”
‘g.gggg’ are the actual offset data values returned, each preceded by a space.
Description: The position field may have 0 or 4 characters. If no position field is specified,
offset coefficients for all of a module’s input channels will be calculated and
returned. If a position field is specified, offset coefficients for only the channels
whosebits are set (=1) will be calculated and returned. If the optional pressure value
[ vv.vvvv] is specified, the position field must be 4 characters, even when all
channels are to be specified. If the optional pressure value [‘vv.vvv’] is not
provided, an applied pressure of 0.0 psi(a) will be assumed when calculating
coefficients. When using the 9021/9022 module with 9401 absolute pressure
transducers, it will usually be required to use the applied pressure field [‘vv.vvv’] as
it may not be possible to apply 0.0 psia to the 9401 transducers. Offset values are
returned in the response in order of highest specified channel to lowest specified
channel, with data formatted per an implied decimal format (f=0).
Before acquiring data with this command, any addressed Model 9016 module will
normally attempt to place the calibration valve in the CAL position, so that a zero
differential pressure can be applied to all channels via the module’s CAL and CAL
Ref input port. Simply leaving these ports unattached will allow the transducers to
read the appropriatezero differential pressure if ambient air pressure isstable. After
data are acquired, the calibration valve will be placed in the RUN position. To
disable the automatic shifting of the calibration valve, refer to the Set Operating
Options (‘w’) command (index 0B). The reader is also referred to Section 4.2 of

Chapter 4 for additional details concerning the performance of a Re-zero
Calibration.
Models 9021 and 9022, having no valves, will skip the CAL valve change.
NOTE: The calculated offset values from the latest ‘h’ command will be
lost when the module is powered off. To save these offset terms to each
transducer’s non-volatile memory refer to the Set Operating Options
(‘w’) command (index 08).
Example:

‘ dddd’ are datum fields, each with leading space (except f= 7 or 8).
Description: The 4-character hex position field (pppp) specifies a 16-bit binary bit-map, with
each bit (set to 1) specifying a particular channel number (16-1, left-to-right).
Models 9021 and 9022 use only channels 12-1.
The 1-character format field (f) specifies the format of each data field (dddd) that
will be returned in the requested response. The first datum returned in the
response will be for the highest channel number specified. Each (non-binary)
datum will be preceded by a space character (except in the case of f= 7). Some

READ INTERNAL COEFFICIENTS (Command ‘u’)
Purpose:
Returns one (or more contiguous) requested internal coefficient(s) in a specified
internal coefficient array, and in the specified response data format.
“ufaacc[-cc]”
Command
‘u’ is the command letter.
‘f’ is the format field.
‘aa’ is the array index field.
‘cc[-cc]’ is coefficient index [or contiguous range].
“ dddd.. dddd”
Response
‘dddd’ are the datum fields, each with leading space character.
Description: The 1-character format field (f) is a single decimal digit that defines the format of
each returned datum in the response. All datum ( dddd) fields returned will be
preceded by a space character. Most coefficients have a floating point datum type
(f=0-1), while others have an integer datum type (f=5). Requesting an improper
format will result in an “N08" error response. Valid format types for coefficients
are shown in the following table:

The 2-character array index field (aa) is a hexadecimal value selecting a particular
internal coefficient array. The first array index (aa=01) refers to channel one’s
transducer, the 16th (aa=10) refers to channel sixteen’s transducer. Finally, the last
array(aa=11) refers to a special global array. Models 9021 and 9022 would have no
data for aa=OD-10 since they only have 12 channels.
A single 2- character coefficient index field ( cc) is a hexadecimal value that selects
a particular coefficient within the specified array. Multiple contiguous coefficients
of the same type may be specified by using a coefficient index“range” specified by
adding a hyphen (negative sign) between two such indexes (cc-cc).

format
‘xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx’
none (module re-boots)
Response
Description: When amodulereceives this broadcast command, (bycontinuously monitoring port
7000) it responds by toggling its current ARP method to one of two states: dynamic
resolution or static resolution. Then it restarts its firmware. The result is essentially
the same as a power-up restart, in that any TCP/IP connection is lost, and the
module returns to its normal startup state. However, if it used the static resolution
method before it received this command, after the re-boot, it will not have a valid
IP address until an external network server (RARP or BOOTP) provides it with one.
However, executing the command a second time will restore it to using its original
statically-assigned IP address (after another re-boot finishes).
Just as for the “psireboot” command, the host must wait long enough for the re-boot
process to be completed before it can again request a connection to the module.
Example:
!
Reconfigure a specified module on the network so that it uses its “other” IP address
resolution method, and also re-boot it. Presumably, the host knew the module’s
current state (iparpst) as a result of a recent Network Query response from the
module.

3.3 Obsolete Commands
Users of older model 9010, 9015, and 9020 modules will notice that several previouslydocumented
commands are missing. Most of these missing commands were “standard” Optomux commands
that were never of functional value for NetScanner™ System modules. This is mainly because of
basic design philosophy differences between PSI and vendors of other less capable Optomux
modules. These commands were included in the original NetScanner™ System/9000 System
documentation and module firmware for compatibility with third party software packages. Such
commands have now been removed from the NetScanner™ System documentation in the interest
of easier learning and product simplicity. They may still continue to exist in newer firmware
versions of several older models. However, they are not available in the 9016, 9021, and 9022
models, and will eventually be removed from all NetScanner™ System firmware.
Obsolete commands fall into three classes:
! dummy commands (that executed but essentially did nothing),
! duplicatecommands(with capabilities less than (or the same as) other “alternative” commands),
and
! piecemeal commands (that executed only parts of other “complete” commands).
Obsolete dummy commands include:
‘C’
‘G’
‘H’
Set Turn-Around Delay,
Configure Positions,
Configure as Inputs;
and users should remove any usage of these from host programs if use of newer NetScanner™
System modules is contemplated.
Obsolete duplicate commands include:
‘j’
Read Module Configuration, and
‘M’ Read and Average Analog Inputs;
which should be replaced bycommands Read Module Status(‘q’) and Read Scaled Analog Inputs
(‘L’) or Read High Precision Data (‘r’).
Obsolete piecemeal commands include:

‘U’
‘g’
Start Input Averaging,
Read Average Completion Bits,
Read Input Averaged Data,
Calculate Offsets,

Calibration
4.1
Introduction
Each internal DH200 transducer in a NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanner (Model
9016) contains non-volatile read/write memory capable of storing the transducer's full thermal and
pressure calibration data. For Models 9021 and 9022, most Series 9400 transducers (that have
“digital compensation” specified for them) also have thermal sensors and on-board non-volatile
memory. However, 9400 and9401 transducerswith rangesgreaterthan750 psi, all 9402 transducers,
and other analog only transducers do not contain storage or thermal sensors. These units are
generally measured as scaled voltages only. The internal firmware of each module reads all of the
calibration data in any available memory from each transducer upon power up and then dynamically
calculates other conversion coefficients that convert transducer output into pressure at the current
measuredtemperature. Thefirmware uses these coefficientsfor all subsequent engineering-unit data
conversions performed. If no memory is found, that channel reads voltage (NOT EU pressure). In
this case, any command responses or streams that normally return pressure values return voltage
values instead.
All NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanner modules use a third-order polynomial to
convert transducer output voltage to pressure. All calculations are carried out internally using high
precision math. The following formula is used for all pressure output calculations.
PT(V)
=
[C0(T) + C1(T)*V + C2(T)*V2 + C3(T)*V3] * C SPAN - CRZ
where:

Since the polynomial’s coefficients are a function of the current temperature, they are dynamically
re-calculated by the module firmware (with other equations) to compensate for each transducer’s
measured temperature change.

Each model 9016 Intelligent Pressure Scanner contains an integral purge/leak check calibration
manifold. (Models 9021 and 9022 have no valves.) Through software commands to each 9016, this
valve may be placed in one of four positions: RUN, CAL, PURGE, or LEAK-CHARGE. (See the
Set/Do Operating Options/Functions (‘w’) command (ii=0C & 12) in Chapter 3, and in particular
the Valve Position Chart at the end of command’s description.) When each module’s internal
calibration valve is placed in the CAL/RE-ZERO position (through software commands), all
DH200 transducer pressureinputs are pneumatically connected to the CAL input ports. All DH200
reference inputs are pneumatically connected to the CAL REF input port. The CAL input may be
used to perform on-line zero adjustment of the 9016’s transducers. This capability virtually
eliminates sensor zero drift error and ensures the highest possible data accuracy. The CAL input
mayalso be used for DH200 span adjustment calibrations. Span calibration of multi-range scanners
may also utilize the CAL input ports if the highest applied pressure does not exceed the proof
pressure rating of any installed transducer. Zero and span adjustment functions may also be
performed on Models 9021 and 9022 channels, but any valving must be supplied externally.
For reference when operating the 9016 calibration manifold, Figures 4.1 through 4.4 show
simplified pneumatic diagrams of the calibration manifold in its various positions.
NOTE:
Periodic zero and span calibration should bethe only calibration required
to maintain specified performance throughout the life of the scanner.

4.2
Re-zero Calibration
The NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanners including Models 9016, 9021, and 9022
are capable of independently performing a transducer calibration adjustment function, referred to
as Re-zero adjustment (or simply Re-zero Cal). The Re-zero calibration will result in a recalculated
“offset” coefficient for each channel being calibrated, which automatically compensates for any
transducer offset drift errors. Sincethe factory-setcoefficients in each transducer (that characterize
both pressure and temperature) are extremely stable over time, these simple offset corrections
compensate for the majority of transducer errors over time. For this reason, a Re-zero may be the
only calibration adjustment required by many applications. For those applications requiring more
accuracy, an optional single-point Span-only calibration adjustment will be described in Section
4.3. An improved multi-point calibration adjustment, integrating both the Re-zero and Span
calibration process will be described in Section 4.4.
For Model 9016, with integral DH200 pneumatic transducers, internal manifolds and valves allow
a Re-zero calibration to be accomplished easily and automatically. For Models 9021 and 9022,
whichhave external 9400, 9401 or9402 (or third-party) all-media transducers, the usermust supply
any necessary valves and controls to accomplish the application of a “minimum” pneumatic or
hydraulic pressure to these transducers before executing the re-zero adjustment.
When instructed to execute a Calculate and Set Offsets (‘h’) command, the NetScanner™ System
module will automatically perform the Re-zero adjustment calibration, and then update the offset
coefficientsin its volatile memory. It will subsequently use the newlycalculated terms for all future
engineering-unit calculations until power is lost to the module.
NOTE: When using the Calculate and Set Offsets command (‘h’), only local terms in
the module’s volatile main memory (RAM) are updated. Under normal operation, it is
not recommended to store these new coefficients in transducer non-volatile memory.
Instead, the re-zero should be performed at regular intervals. Refer to Section 4.6 if it
is desired to also store these new re-zero terms in transducer nonvolatile memory.
4.2.1. Re-zero Calibration Valve Control
When instructed to execute a Re-zero (Calculate and Set Offsets (‘h’)) command, Model 9016
modules will normally shift the internal calibration valve into the CAL position and use the
pressures present at the CAL and CAL REF inputs for the “minimum” (e.g., zero) calibration
pressure. After the Re-zero adjustment iscomplete, the Model 9016calibrationvalve will be placed
in the RUN position. Models 9021 and 9022 assume a “minimum” calibration is already applied
to the transducers. This automatic shift of the calibration valve can be disabled through use of the

4.3
Span Calibration
For improved accuracy, the NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanners are capable of
independently performing a transducer calibration function, referred to as Span adjustment (or
simply Span Cal). Actually, there is a provision to supply any suitable “upscale” pressure (e.g.,
actual transducer full-scale) during such a calibration adjustment. The Span adjustment calibration
will result in a recalculated “gain” coefficient for each channel being calibrated, to compensate for
any transducer or module gain errors. For best results, a Re-zero calibration should be performed
beforeperforming a spancalibration. Also, note that a new and improved Multi-Point Calibration
function exists (for modules with firmware version 2.24 of higher). This function integrates the
separate calibration functions (for Re-zero and Span adjustment described in Section 4.2 and this
section) into a single function that adjusts both “offset” and “gain” coefficients at the same time,
using two or more calibration points. Details of using this improved calibration function are
described in Section 4.4.
For Model 9016, with integral DH200 transducers, internal manifolds and valves allow a Span
adjustment pneumatic calibration to be accomplished easily and automatically. For Models 9021
and 9022, which have external 9400, 9401 or 9402 (or third-party) all-media transducers, the user
must supply any necessary valves and controls to accomplish the application of an upscale
pneumatic or hydraulic pressure to these transducers before executing the span adjustment.
It is recommended that a Span adjustment be performed whenever new transducers are installed in
the instrument. In such cases, the new gain coefficients that result should always be stored back
into the transducer’s non-volatile memory. In other cases, the user’s application may not require
periodic span adjustment since the other factory-determined pressure/temperature coefficients
(stored permanently inside each transducer) are extremely stable. Only an occasional Re-zero
adjustment may be all that is necessary.
When instructed to execute a Calculate and Set Gains (‘Z’) command, the module will perform
the Span adjustment calibration, and then update the gain coefficients in its memory. It will
subsequentlyuse the newly calculatedgaintermsfor subsequent engineering-unit calculations until
power is lost to the module.
NOTE: When using the Calculate and Set Gain (‘Z’) command, only the local variables in
the module’s volatile main memory (RAM) are changed. Refer to Section 4.6 if it is
desired to also store these new gain coefficients in transducer nonvolatile memory.

4.3.1. Span Calibration Valve Control
Before executing a Span adjustment (Calculate and Set Gains (‘Z’) command), the Model 9016
modules should have their calibration manifold valve placed in the proper position. For single
pressure range units the CAL position should be used since the span calibration pressure can be
applied between the CAL and CAL REF ports. Since the module will not attempt to shift this
valve automatically, as it does for Re-zero adjustment, it should manually be placed in the desired
position with the Set Operating Options (‘w’) command (option indexes = 0C and 12).
When span calibrating Model 9016 modules with multiple ranges installed, the CAL port may be
used to apply pressure to all transducers only if the specified proof pressure is not exceeded on
any channel. Refer to Calculate and Set Gains (‘Z’) command to specify the channels to be
affected by the command in a multi-range unit. If the application of a specific span pressure
exceeds the proof pressure rating of any other transducer contained within the same scanner, the
calibration pressures must be applied to the RUN side pneumatic input ports. Since the calibration
command (‘Z’) has a channel selection bit map parameter allowing it to calibrate only the desired
pressure channels, the RUN port is a viable option for supplying the calibration pressures. Thisalso
applies to Models 9021 and 9022, which assumes an upscale pressure is already applied to its
transducer being adjusted.

4.4 Integrated Multi-Point Calibration Adjustment
NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanners may have their accuracy enhanced by regular
application of one or both of the individual Re-zero and Span calibration adjustment functions
already described in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. For users who have installed scanner firmware version
2.24 or later, an integrated and more comprehensive Multi-Point Calibration function may be
used instead to adjust the same offset and gain coefficients for a module’s channels. This function
also provides for supplying additional calibration points, which is particularly useful when it is
desired to fit the adjustment data to the entire negative and positive range of the module. This
integrated calibration adjustment function is fully described in this section. It is implemented by
four (4) sub-commands of the ‘C’ command. Since this function combines the functions of the Re-
zero and Span calibration adjustments (using the ‘h’ and ‘Z’ commands) it is recommended that
you read the information of Section 4.2 and 4.3 before attempting to perform this multi-point
calibration.
It is recommended that a Multi-Point Calibration adjustment be performed whenever new
transducers are installed in your module. In such cases, the new zero and gain coefficients that
result should always be restored into the transducer’s non-volatile memory afterwards. In some
cases, the user’s application may not require such a comprehensive adjustment as the other factory-
determined pressure/temperature coefficients (stored permanently inside each transducer) are
extremely stable. Only an occasional Re-zero adjustment may be all that is necessary.
When instructed to execute a particular sequence of sub-commands of the Configure Multi-Point
Calibration (‘C’) command, the module will perform the various stages of the Multi-Point
Calibration adjustment calibration function, and then update both the offset and gain coefficients
in the module’s volatile (e.g., RAM) memory. The module will use this newly calculated data term
for all subsequent engineering-unit calculations.
NOTE: When using the Configure/Control Multi-Point Calibration (‘C’) command,
only the local variables in the module’s volatile main memory (RAM) are changed.
Refer to Section 4.6 if it is desired to also store these new offset and gain coefficients
in transducer non-volatile memory.
4.4.1. Multi-Point Calibration Valve Control
Before executing a Multi-Point Calibration adjustment (using various forms of the
Configure/Control Multi-Point Calibration (‘C’) command), Model 9016 modules should have
their calibration valve placed in the proper position. For modules with only one common pressure
range for its transducers, the CAL position should be used since the span calibration pressure can

be applied betweenthe CAL and CAL REFports (see Section 4.3.1 for moreinformation on these
ports). Since the module will not attempt to shift this valve automatically, as it does for Re-zero
adjustment, it should be placed in the desired position manually with the Set Operating Options
(‘w’) command (option indexes = 0C and 12). This is illustrated in the example of the next section.
When multi-point calibrating Model 9016 modules with multiple ranges installed, the CAL port
may be used to apply pressure to all transducers only if the specified proof pressure is not
exceeded on any channel. If the application of a specific span pressure exceeds the proof pressure
rating of any other transducer contained within the same scanner, the calibration pressures must be
applied to the RUN side pneumatic input ports. Since the calibration command (‘C’) has a channel
selection bit map parameter allowing it to calibrate only the desired pressure channels, the RUN
port is a viable option for supplying the calibration pressures.
4.4.2 Multi-Point Calibration Summary
Following is a simple step-by-step procedure for executing a “multi-point” calibration of a 9016,
9021, or 9022 Intelligent Pressure Scanner. For Models 9021 and 9022, skip the steps that
manipulate valves as denoted by the double asterisk (**). It is assumed that all channels in the unit

4.5 9021/9022 Analog Calibration
Boththe standard 9021 and the 9022 modules are used to make absolute analog measurements from
either the PSI 9400 transducers or third party analog output transducers. In order to maintain the
highest level of analog accuracy, the 9021/9022 is designed to allow its firmware to perform
automaticsoftware calibration of the analoginterface circuitry. This automatic, firmwarecontrolled
calibration function minimizes analogoffset and gainerrors for each of the twelve 9021/9022 input
channels. This auto-calibration function reduces analog measurement errors resulting from long
term or thermally induced component drift. Unless disabled through software commands tothe
9021/9022, this software calibration function will be constantly performed by the 9021/9022
firmware, therefore maintaining consistent measurement accuracy within the 9021/9022. In
order to perform this software calibration function, the 9021/9022 contains one internal voltage
referencenetwork. This internal calibration standard is designed to provide excellent long term and
thermal stability. This use of a common reference network reduces user or factory calibration of
the 9021/9022 to a simple calibration of this one internal reference network. The following
proceduresdescribe the methodsfor verifying analog measurement accuracyand for calibrating this
internal reference in order to maintain optimum accuracy through the 9021/9022.
NOTE:
When using the 9021/9022 with digitally compensated PSI Model 9400
transducers,thespan calibration functions(for the 9400 transducers)can
serve as a method to correct both 9400 and internal 9021/9022
measurement accuracies. Periodic use of this span calibration function
can eliminate the need for the described voltage reference calibration
when using the 9021/9022 with digitally compensated Model 9400
transducers.

4.5.1 Setup
The calibration and verification function will require the application of precise voltage sources to
the pressure voltage input pins of the 9021 and 9022 transducer interface connectors. Application
of this voltage may be made through any one of the twelve 9021 and 9022 interface connectors
although more complete verifications of performance will require applying these voltages to all
twelve input connectors. Figure 4.5 shows proper voltage input connections. (For optional
calibration of the temperature voltage input (9022 only), connect the (+) output of the precision
voltage source to pin D instead of pin B.)

4.5.2 Calibration Procedure
The calibration procedures may be summarized as follows:
1. Set all 9021/9022 channels for the desired gain (1, 20, 45, or 90).
(9022 temperature voltage input gain is fixed at gain = 1)
2. Apply a known upscale or full scale voltage to the 9021/9022.
3. Measure the applied voltage through the 9021/9022.
4. Calculate the 9021/9022 measurement error as a ratio of applied voltage.
5. Adjust the current reference network coefficient by the observed measurement error ratio.
6. Store the new coefficients to non-volatile 9021/9022 memory.

The above process is repeated for each of the four (4) 9021/9022 gain settings (or selected gain
settings as needed for your application).
Calculation of the new reference coefficient is performed as follows:
CoefOld = current reference coefficient value
CoefNew = new/corrected coefficient value
Vapplied = actual applied test voltage
V9021 = reported voltage measured by the 9021/9022
CoefNew = CoefOld * [1 + (Vapplied - V9021) ÷ Vapplied]
Example:
CoefOld:
Vapplied:
9021/9022 Gain=1 current reference coefficient is 0.9800
4.004 VDC is applied to 9021/9022 channel 1 from a precision voltage
source
V9021:
9021/9022 reports 3.965 V measured at channel 1
CoefNew = 0.9800 * [1 + 4.004 - 3.965) ÷ 4.004]
CoefNew = 0.98955

Coefficient Storage
The various calibration functions described in Sections 4.2 through 4.4 update the active offset and
gain coefficients, respectively, in the module’s volatile main memory (RAM) only. These newer
calibration coefficients will be lost when instrument power is turned off. The Set/Do Operating
Options (‘w’) command may be used to also store these coefficients back in each transducer’s
nonvolatile memory. This command’s option index = 08 will store new offset coefficients, while
its option index = 09 will store new gain coefficients.
A user may read (and should verify) any new offset and/or gain coefficients after performing each
calibration adjustment command (i.e., bysaving coefficient data returned in a command ‘h’ or ‘Z’
response), or the Read Internal Coefficients (‘u’) command may be used to read them any time
after calibration adjustment commands have been performed (seecoefficient indexes cc=00 and 01
for arrays aa=01 through 10). These “adjusted” coefficients may be verified, and then saved by
storing them in each transducer’s non-volatile memory with the ‘w’ command described above.
Alternately, they may be verified and stored on the host computer’s secondary storage, and later
restored (if necessary) with the Download Internal Coefficients (‘v’) command (same
array/coefficient indexes as ‘u’).
4.7 Non-volatile Parameter Storage for “non-Digitally
Compensated” Pressure Sensors (9021/9022 ONLY)
4.7.1
This section describes the capability to download and store parameters to NetScannerÔ System
9021 and 9022 modules for use in calibrating and/or identifying sensors that do not conform to the
serial data storage and retrieval format of digitally compensated PSI 9400 sensors. When using
other than digitally compensated 9400 sensors, two alternative methods are available to allow for
non-volatile storage of key parameters for sensors attached to a 9021 or 9022. The first method
applies when using a non-digitally compensated 9400 sensor without non-volatile memory or when
using a third party sensor. This method provides the capability to calibrate sensor measurements
on theNetScanner™ Systemmodule even though the sensor itself does not havethe abilitytostore
parameter data.
Commands that “download” parameters write the value into volatile memory in the module. This
volatile copy of the parameter is not actually copied into non-volatile memory until the ‘w07’
command is issued. This provides the capability to test new parameters before committing them
to non-volatile memory. It is important to note that the ‘w07’ command stores the entire block of
non-volatile parameters for the module. The second method applies when using a non-digitally
compensated 9400 sensor that has non-volatile memory.

NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
As part of module initialization, all channels are automatically checked for attached PSI 9400
sensors. If a digitally compensated 9400 sensor is attached, its parameters are uploaded to the
module and used for calibrating the sensor. If a non-digitally compensated 9400 sensor is attached
but is equipped with non-volatile memory (EEPROM) and responds properly to the 9021/9022
module query, it’s parameters are uploaded and used for calibrating the sensor. If a 9400 sensor is
not detected, the module will look to see if the module has been configured to utilize the user-
provided parameters out of scanner non-volatile memory. If configured to do so, the module will
use the parameters stored for the channel in scanner non-volatile memory. Otherwise factory
default parameters will be used, resulting in the 9021/9022 modules returning EU (engineering
units) in terms of measured volts.
The following procedures describe methods for storing various parameters into both volatile and
non-volatile memories of 9021/9022 Intelligent Pressure Scanners.
4.7.2 Download calibration parameters into volatile memory
4.7.2.1
For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors Without Non-volatile
Memory or Non-9400 Sensors
Sensor offset and gain terms are downloaded into volatile memory using
the ‘v’ command with coefficient index numbers 00 and 01 respectively for
the selected channel. c0 through c3 coefficients are downloaded into
volatile memory using the ‘v’ command with coefficient index numbers 02
through 05 respectively.
Front-end gain select is downloaded into volatile memory using the ‘v’
command with coefficient index (cc) 4D. (See NetScannerÔ System
(9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual, Chapter 3, Download Internal
Coefficients (Command ‘v’)). Data forthis indexselectsthefront-endgain
for the module as follows: 0=unity, 1=20, 2=45, 3=90. Example: ‘v0014d
2’ sets front-end gain for the first transducer to 45. This parameter can be
retrievedfrom the moduleusing the ‘u’command with coefficientindex 4D.
4.7.2.2 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors With Non-volatile Memory
For non-digitally compensated 9400 sensors with non-volatile memory, the
same commands as for non-9400 “generic” (third party sensors) apply.

4.7.3 Download other parameters into volatile memory
4.7.3.1 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors Without Non-volatile Memory
or Non-9400 Sensors
A user-defined date can be downloaded into volatile memory using the ‘v’
command with coefficient index 07. A manufacturing reference or serial
number can be downloaded into volatile memory using the ‘v’ command
withcoefficient index 09(format=5). A transducerfull-scale range code can
bedownloaded intovolatilememoryusing the ‘v’command withcoefficient
index 0A. User-defined range codes can be assigned to values 128 and up
(format=5). (See User’s Manual, Appendix E for standard Range Codes.)
4.7.3.2 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors With Non-volatile Memory
For non-digitally compensated 9400 sensors with non-volatile memory, the
same commands apply as fornon-9400 “generic” (third party) sensors. The
difference is that for non-digitally compensated 9400 sensors, upon
command, parameters are immediatelystored into the sensor’s non-volatile
memory.
4.7.4 Set parameters to factory defaults
4.7.4.1 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors Without Non-volatile Memory
or Non-9400 Sensors
All of the above parameters can be set to factory defaults using the ‘w’
command with index 25. For each third-party type sensor attached, this
command sets the volatile copy of each parameter backto the factorydefault
value as follows:
Offset term = 0.0
Gain term = 1.0
c0 = 0.0
c1 = 1.0
c2 = 0.0
c3 = 0.0
user-defined date = 0
manufacturing reference number = 0
full-scale range code = 0
front end gain = 0 (unity).

Note: It is important to remember that this command, like the download
commands, only affects the volatile copy of parameter data. This volatile
copyof parameter data is not actually copied intonon-volatile memory until
the ‘w07’ command is issued.
4.7.4.2 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors With Non-volatile Memory
For a non-digitally compensated 9400 sensor with non-volatile memory, the
‘w25’ command applies the same as for non-9400 sensors as far as the
volatile copy of parameter data is concerned. To write parameters into non-
volatile memory, the ‘w08,’ ‘w09,’ and ‘w27’ commands must be used as
describedinSection4.7.6 “StoreParameters Into Non-volatile Memory.”
4.7.5 Configure reset initialization
4.7.5.1 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors Without Non-volatile Memory
or Non-9400 Sensors
The module can be configured to retrieve the user-provided parameters out
ofnon-volatile memoryduringreset initialization by using the ‘w’command
with index number 26 and dd=01. If the ‘w26’ command is issued with
dd=00, the factory default parameters will be used, and any user
parameters previously stored in non-volatile memory will be ignored. It is
important to remember that this command only modifies the volatile copy
of this configuration parameter. The configuration parameter is not actually
copied into non-volatile memory until the ‘w07’ command is issued. For
example, to configure the module to retrieve user parameters from non-
volatile memory for third-party sensors during reset initialization, issue
command ‘w2601’ followed by ‘w07.’ (See User’s Manual, Chapter 3,
Set/Do Operating Options (Command ‘w’)). The factory default for this
configuration parameter is for the module to use the user-provided
parameters out of non-volatile memory during reset initialization. The user
parameters are set to the factory default values at time of module
manufacture.

4.7.5.2 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors With Non-volatile Memory
Non-digitally compensated 9400 sensors with non-volatile memory are not
affected by the ‘w26’ command. The module will always use sensor
EEPROM data, if available.
4.7.6 Store parameters into non-volatile memory
4.7.6.1 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors Without Non-volatile Memory
or Non-9400 Sensors
All of the above commands download data into volatile memory. If the
module is reset, the effects of the commands will be lost unless the ‘w07’
command is issued prior to module reset. The ‘w07’ command is used to
copy all of the parameters from volatile to non-volatile memory.
4.7.6.2 For Non-digitally Compensated 9400 Sensors With Non-volatile Memory
Non-digitally compensated 9400 sensors with non-volatile memory are not
affected by the ‘w07’ command. Sensor offset and gain terms are
downloaded into sensor non-volatile memory using ‘w08’ and ‘w09’
commands, respectively. Coefficients c0 through c3 are downloaded into
sensor non-volatile memory using the ‘w27’ command. The ‘w27’
command can use an optional position field to make the action channel-
specific. For example, ‘w2700 0801’ will perform the download for
channels 12 and 1.
User-defined data, manufacturing reference number, full-scale range code,
and front-end gain are downloaded immediately into sensor non-volatile
memory as a result of the ‘v’ command (together with the associated index
number for each parameter).

4.8 Line Pressure Precautions
When operating 9016 pressure scanners at elevated line or reference pressures, care must be taken
when any command is issued that may result in shifting of the calibration valve. The user must
ensure that any valve shifts will not result in the internal DH200 transducers being exposed to
pressure transients that may exceed the proof pressure rating of the transducer. This is especially
important when operating at elevated reference pressures as a shift to the CAL position may result
in a rapid pressure change if the CAL/CAL REF pressure varies greatly from the measurement
reference pressure.

5.1.6 Replacement of O-Rings
Pressure Systems’ calibration valves include static and dynamic O-ring seals. When used
properly, the rated durability of the dynamic O-rings is in excess of 1,000,000 shifts of the
calibration valve.
The procedures described below should be used for replacement of all the O-rings in the Model
9016 Intelligent Pressure Scanner. Use the tools and follow the general warnings already
described at the start of Section 5.1.
The material needed for the O-ring replacement can be acquired through the proper maintenance
kit available from Pressure Systems. Specifically needed for these procedures are calibration
manifold and piston O-rings, Teflon cup seals, a fast evaporating cleaning fluid ( i.e. acetone,
alcohol, Freon®, etc.), 50 psi dry air supply, and Krytox® fluorinated grease (read product
warnings and recommendations thoroughly). Service of O-ring seals requires a clean
working environment. Introduction of contaminants to the O-ring or internal calibration
manifold surfaces can result in internal pneumatic leaks. Inspection for contaminates generally
requires some type of magnification device, such as a microscope.
5.1.6.1
DH200 Pressure Transducer O-Ring Replacement
Please note that the DH200 O-rings are used for static seals only. They will typically not require
replacement unless exposed to improper liquid media (which will also damage other 9016
components). Following is a step-by-step procedure to replace a DH200 O-Ring should it be
required:
(1)

Using tweezers, remove the two (2) O-rings from the DH200. Clean the O-ring cup with
a lint-free applicator moistened with a cleaning fluid such as acetone, alcohol, Freon®, or
any other substance that evaporates quickly and leaves very little residue. Remove any
excess cleaner with the air supply as soon as possible. Do not blow air directly into the
holes of the surface since that can drive the fluid into the transducer and/or rupture the
silicon pressure transducer.
With clean hands, apply a small amount of Krytox® fluorinated grease to the palm of one
hand and rub it out evenly with your index finger. Place one new O-ring onto your
greased palm. Work the O-ring around until it is evenly greased. The O-ring should shine
when properly lubricated. There should be no white area of excess grease on the O-ring.
Make sure there is only a thin film of lubrication on the O-ring. Using your greased
finger, place the greased O-rings in the cups on the DH200. Ensure that no grease enters
the hole that leads into the transducer.

Inspect for the presence of shim washers around each of the six (6) screws. If washers are
present, retain for use during reassembly.
Remove and replace the O-rings needing maintenance, using the procedure described in
Section 5.1.6.1. Note that the O-ring seals use an additional Teflon cup seal placed on
top of the O-ring. These seals should be replaced as necessary. Note that these Teflon
seals do not require the use of Krytox® grease.
(7)
Examine the tubing plate and calibration manifold to verify that no contaminants are on
either surface. This generally requires microscopic examination. Replace the tubing plate
by slowly placing the plate on the calibration manifold. Make sure that the O-ring/cup
seal side is down toward the pneumatic sliding manifold and the guiding pin on the
calibration valve housing fits into the mating hole of the tubing plate. Also, ensure that
shim washers, if used, are installed between the tubing plate and the calibration manifold
assembly, in all six (6) locations.
(8)
(9)
Replace the six (6) Allen-head screws that pass through the top plate to secure the
calibration valve assembly. Tighten evenly, making sure that the screws are only finger
tight plus 1/8 turn. It is important not to over tighten the screws since the pneumatic seal
is made using dynamic O-rings.

5.1.6.4
Calibration Manifold Piston O-Ring Replacement
Following is a step-by-step procedure to replace Calibration Manifold O-rings in a Model 9016
Intelligent Pressure Scanner. There are eight (8) pistons, each with an O-ring, inside the
calibration valve housing; one (1) on each end of the housing, and three (3) on each side of the
calibration valve itself.
(1)
(2)
Disassemble the module as described in Section 5.1.2.
Remove the PC-206 Amplifier/Multiplexer board as described in Section 5.1.3.1. Lay
the circuit board aside on an anti-static surface.
(3)
(4)
Remove the tubing plate as described in Section 5.1.6.3.
Using your index finger, shift the calibration manifold back and forth several times to
loosen its connection with the adapter plate O-rings. Carefully lift the calibration valve
housing with one hand and turn it over, letting the calibration manifold fall into the free
hand. It is imperative that the calibration manifold does not fall on a hard surface since
scratches on the manifold can result in pneumatic leaks.
(5)
To remove the six (6) pistons from their slots on the manifold valve, hold the valve in
one hand and apply air pressure of approximately 30 psi (200 kPa) to the C3/C4 input
passages on the valve. The passages (0.043" diameter holes) are located on the side of
the valve next to the tubing plate, one hole on each side of the valve. Pressure on one
side will release three (3) pistons, and pressure on the other side will release the other
three (3). If the pistons stick, apply a slightly higher pressure. Place your free hand over
the calibration valve housing to prevent the pistons from coming out of the housing.
Thoroughly clean the pistons with a fast evaporating cleaning fluid that leaves little or no
residue (e.g., acetone, alcohol, Freon®, etc.) and dry with supply air. Replace the piston
O-rings (PSI part number 61-03-58610) after lightly lubricating the rings with Krytox®
fluorinated grease, making sure that the piston faces are free of Krytox® lubricant.
Replace the pistons in their cavity by placing the O-ring side of the piston in first and
then pressing the piston completely into its cavity with one finger.
(6)
To remove the two (2) C1/C2 pistons from their slots on either end of the manifold valve
housing, hold the manifold valve housing in one hand, and apply approximately 30 psi
(200 kPa) to the two bulge tubes, one on either end of the housing end-plate. This will
result in the pistons being forced out of their cavity. If the pistons stick, apply a higher
pressure. Place your free hand over the calibration valve housing to prevent the pistons
from coming out of the housing. Clean the pistons, lubricate and replace the O-rings
(PSI part number 61-12-2023), and replace the pistons into their cavities as described in
(5) above, making sure that the piston faces are free of Krytox® lubricant.

The jumper block may be placed in one of two positions on the board. When the jumper
block is placed on the two pins nearest the edge of the board, the ten (10) volt output is
selected. When the jumper is placed on the second and third pins from the edge of the
board, the five (5) volt output is selected. The PC-317 board will have to be separated
from the PC-316 board in order to relocate the jumper. Insure these two boards are fully
reseated before proceeding.
Reinsert the electronics into the housing, ensuring that the alignment posts in the
module’s bottom panel align with the holes in the PC-280 mounting brackets. This may
require loosening approximately one half turn, the three (3) screws attaching the PC-280
board to the top plate . Ensure that no connectors from the P1 harness are pinched
between the top plate and the housing. Ensure that the top plate gasket is properly

5.4 Upgrading Module Firmware
All NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanner modules contain electronically re-
programmable memory devices that store the module firmware. Pressure Systems will provide
new releases of module firmware for enhanced instrument performance whenever updates or
modifications are made. All scanner modules may have their firmware downloaded via their
Ethernet Host Port. This allows for firmware upgrade while the module is installed in its normal
communications network environment. Any new firmware releases may be obtained free of
Download links can be found on the home page and in the information page for each model
(e.g., Model 9016, Model 9022, etc.). All firmware is stored as a self-extracting .ZIP file. Once
downloaded from the internet, simply execute the download file to extract the archived file(s).
5.2.1 Upgrading Firmware Via Host TCP/IP Port
New firmware for your NetScanner™ System Intelligent Pressure Scanners, may be upgraded
by the host computer, or any computer on the TCP/IP network, directly via the module’s Host
Port. The PSI application called NetScanner™ Unified Startup Software (NUSS), is provided
for this purpose. It is recommended that NUSS (and any new firmware update file) be installed
to a suitable subdirectory of your hard disk for better performance. Installation instructions for
this support software are provided with the application. Ensure that the TCP/IP
communications is properly configured for the PC running the application.
NUSS is provided to all customers who have purchased NetScanner™ System Intelligent
Pressure Scanners. This application has its own User’s Manual and both may be downloaded
from PSI’s Web site, www.PressureSystems.com.
WARNING: Whileupdating module firmware, DONOT power-cycle your scanner, or
your PC. If thefirmware update procedure is interrupted by anyof these practices, the
module may be left in a “permanent” inoperable state with no operable firmware to
reboot it. The ONLY acceptable way to interrupt the firmware update process is to
select “Abort Download” before the memory begins to be overwritten. In the event of
such failure, module operation can only be restored by unplugging the “bad” memory
chip and installing a “good” memory chip containing a valid working firmware
After NUSS has finished downloading the new firmware, wait approximately 30
seconds for your NetScanner™ System module to reset before closing NUSS, else the
newly installed firmware may be unreliable.

Troubleshooting Guide
6.1 Ethernet Module Troubleshooting
6.1.1
Checking Module Power-Up Sequence
(1)
Proper power to the module should first be verified. If possible, verify that the output of the
module power supply is set within the range of 18-36 VDC. This should be nominally set
for 24 VDC. Ensure the power supply setting is high enough to compensate for cable
voltage drops if long interface cable lengths are used.
(2)
Turn module power switch ON and verify the following top panel LED status following
initial power-up :
!
PWR LED should remain ON
If this LED is not on, all other LED’s will likely also be off. Check the PSI
90DB, remote power supply (8491), or customer provided power supply to
ensure the proper voltage (18-36 VDC) is being provided. Also verify that
the power pins in the module interface cable are wired as described in
Section 2.3.2 and Appendix D.
!
!
COL LED should remain OFF
Tx LED should remain OFF
Note that any activity of the Tx LED during the power up sequence is an
indication that the RARP/BOOTP protocol is enabled. This will typically
occur following the initial Busy (BSY) LED cycle and continue until an
appropriate RARP reply is received.
!
LNK LED should remain ON
This LED indicates proper connection to an Ethernet hub or switch. If this
LED is OFF, verify that the module is properly connected to the
communications hub or switch. Verify proper power is applied to the hub.
Also try connecting the 9016, 9021, or 9022 cable to a different port of the
hub. Note that most hubs have similar link LEDs to indicate proper

connection to the hub itself. If present, verify that the hub link LED for the
pressure scanner and the host computer are both active. If the hub is
functioning correctly, verify that the communications pins in the module
interface cable are wired as described in Section 2.3.4.1 and Appendix D.
!
!
!
CAL LED should remain OFF
PRG LED should remain OFF
Busy(BSY) LED should blink 8-16 times at a rate of approximately1 Hz (slower for
9021/9022), delay ON for approximately 5 seconds and then start to continuously
blink at approximately 100 Hz (rate dependent on number of internal averages). This
faster toggle rate may simply appear as a dimly lit LED. Note that the Busy (BSY)
LED will not begin its 100 Hz toggle rate if the dynamic IP addressing
(RARP/BOOTP) protocol is enabled and the module has not received a proper IP
address response.
Any significant variation from this power-up LED sequence is an indication of a possible cabling
or PC-280 microprocessor board error. If the proper power-up LED sequence is not achieved after
following the above suggestions, contact the Repair Department at Pressure Systems for additional
assistance.
6.1.2
Checking Module TCP/IP Communications
If the LED indicators of the 9016, 9021, and 9022 are correct, the module is normally capable of
proper communications. In order for communications to be established with a functional 9016,
9021, or 9022 (assuming correct interface cables are used), two user-controlled parameters must be
met. First, the module must be configured to obtain a proper (and unique) module IP address.
Second, the user’s host computer must have its TCP/IP communications interface properly
configured.
6.1.2.1
Module IP Address Assignment
Before an Ethernet 9016, 9021, or 9022 can communicatewith a hostcomputer, it must have a valid
IP address assignment. As explained in Section 2.3.4.1, there are two methods for assigning an IP
address to an Ethernet device, static and dynamic. The Static IP addressing protocol is the default
method for IP address assignment in the 9016 and 9021/9022. This is primarily because it allows
the module to assign its own IP addressbased on a factorydefault value. The Dynamic IP addressing
6 - 2

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Pressure Systems, Inc.
NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
protocol is slightly more complicated since it requires aDynamic IP serverto be present and properly
configured on the network. Before host communications can be established, the user must ensure
that the 9016 or 9021/9022 has been assigned a known IP address through either Static IP or using
a Dynamic IP server.
To determine whether Static or Dynamic IP addressing is enabled, observe the module Tx LED on
module power-up. As explained in Section 6.1.1, if Dynamic addressing is enabled, the module Tx
LED will flash one or more times during the power-up sequence. If the module receives a valid
reply, the Busy (BSY) LED will begin to flash rapidly (appearing dim) and the Tx LED will remain
OFF. If it appears the module received an IP server reply or that it is configured for the Static IP
(default) addressing, proceed to Section 6.1.2.2 to verify proper host TCP/IP configuration.
If the module does not receive a response to a Dynamic IP addressing request, its Tx LED will
continue to flash with an increasing delay between Tx attempts. The Busy (BSY) LED will also
remain OFF until a Dynamic IP addressing reply is received. If a Dynamic IP reply is not received,
verify that a Dynamic IP server is present on the network. If the IP server is present, verify that it
contains an entry for the 9016, 9021, or 9022 Ethernet hardware (MAC)address. Verifythis address
against the Ethernet address printed on the module label to ensure it has been entered correctly into
the Dynamic IP server. After making the required changes to the IP server, repeat the above steps
until the module receives a valid Dynamic IP reply.
If the user wishes to manually change the factory set IP address in a module, it may be done with
the NUSS application program (described more fully in Section 6.1.2.2). To use it for this purpose,
select the desiredmodule on the application’sscreen map (left window), then press (click)the right-
mouse button to get the module’s pop-up context menu. From the NUSS menu, select Configure/
Network Options. A new screen then appears that will accept a new IP address(and other network
parameters). After the new address is sent, the module must be “re-booted” (another choice on the
context menu) before it will take effect.
NOTE:
NetScanner™ System modules are factory-configured to use a
200.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address with a 192.0.0.0 subnet mask. These addresses
were chosen with the understanding that the modules would run on a
totally private network. Addressing errors may occur if modules are
connected to a company internal network or if the modules are connected
to the Internet. If you are not sure about the configured networking
scheme, please consult your network administrator.

NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
NOTE:
NetScanner™ System modules are currently designed to use RARP
protocol and BOOTP protocol for Dynamic IP address assignment.
When placed in Dynamic addressing mode, (through the TCP/IP
protocol ‘w1301' command), the modules will first try to resolve their
addresses using RARP protocol. If no RARP server can be found, the
modules will then use the BOOTP protocol. The modules will alternate
between these two protocols until a response is received and an IP
address is assigned. If you are not sure about these protocols, or if your
modules should be using them, please contact your network
administrator.
NOTE:
A simple Windows® 95/98/2000/XP/NT BOOTP/RARP server is
available free of charge from Pressure Systems. For additional
information on the BOOTP Lite application, contact the Pressure
Systems Sales ortheApplicationsSupportDepartment. The application
can also be downloaded from the Pressure Systems web site found at
6.1.2.2
Host IP Address Assignment for Windows® 95/98/NT
In order to communicate with the Ethernet 9016, 9021, or 9022, the host computer must also be
configured with an appropriate IP address. For Windows® 95/98 and Windows® NT, a typical
configuration is described below. Note that this configuration assumes that a host PC Ethernet
adapter is installed and not in use for any other TCP/IP application. If your Ethernet adapter is used
for other TCP/IP communications, contact your MIS or network administrator to determine proper
host IP address and subnet mask configurations before proceeding.
Activate the Windows® control bar (left click the START icon). Select the SETTINGS line
followed by the CONTROL PANEL folder. In the CONTROL PANEL folder, select the
NETWORK icon. Once in the NETWORK setup, select the tab labeled CONFIGURATION.
Scroll through the list of installed configuration protocols. Select the one labeled ‘TCP/IP->xxxx’
where xxxx will typicallyidentify your Ethernet adapter card. There maybe other TCP/IP protocols
listed for other items such as dial up adapters, these are not used for the NetScanner™ System
Ethernet configuration. If the TCP/IP protocol is not listed in the configuration menu, left click the
ADD button. Continue by selecting to add a PROTOCOL. Select MICROSOFT from the
Manufacturers list. Then select TCP/IP from the networks protocol list.

Once in the proper TCP/IP protocol setup, select the ‘IP Address’ tab. Clickon the button to enable
the field ‘Specify IPAddress.’ Once selected, the fields for IP address and Subnet will be enabled.
In the IP address, enter a TCP/IP address for your host computer. An IP address of 200.200.200.001
will work if the 9016, 9021, or 9022 is using the factory default IP address. If the leftmost fields of
the9016, 9021, or 9022 moduleIP addressesare differentthanthe factorydefault of200.20x.yyy.zzz
then the leftmost fields of the host computer’s IP address must match the module’s leftmost IP
address field. In the Subnet field a value of 255.0.0.0 can be entered for most configurations.
When these fields are entered, click the OK icons until Windows® prompts you to restart your
computer. (Windows® 95/98 only). Once the computer has restarted, it should be capable of
communications with the Ethernet NetScanner™ System module.
6.1.2.3
Verifying Host TCP/IP Communications
At this point, the NetScanner™ Systemmodule should beconfiguredtoobtainitsIPaddressthrough
either static (default) or dynamic IP addressing. The module’s IP address must be assigned and
known in order to proceed. The host computer has also been configured for TCP/IP protocol and
assigned an IP address compatible with the NetScanner™ System IP address. A simple method to
verify proper operation is through the ping utility. This is a simple TCP/IP utility that is found in
Windows® 95/98/NT as well as most other TCP/IP packages. The ping utility simply sends a test
packet to the specified IP addressand waitsfor reply tobe returned. NetScanner™ System Ethernet
modules are programmed to reply to these ping requests.
To run the ping utility from Windows® 95/98/NT, follow these steps. Left click the Windows®
START button. Move the mouse pointer to ‘RUN’ and left click on it. At the prompt type ‘ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP address of the device to test. The IP
address of an Ethernet NetScanner™ System module should be used. A small DOS window will
appear as the ping application executes. The ping program will either report that a reply was
received or that it failed to receive a reply. If the ping application reported receivinga reply, the host
computer and the NetScanner™ System module are both properly configured for TCP/IP
communications.
If an error free ping reply was not received, rerun the ping application using the IP address of the
hostcomputer. Thiswill verify if the TCP/IP protocol was properlyconfigured onthe host computer.
If a ping reply was not received, verify the TCP/IP installation steps for your host computer. Also
verify that the host computer is configured for the proper IP address and subnet mask.

If the ping test of the host computer’s IP passed, while theping of the NetScanner™ System module
failed, check the following possible sources for error:
!
!
!
Ensure the NetScanner™ System module’s IP has been assigned (as explained in
Section 6.2.2.1) and that the correct IP was used for the ping test.
Ensure the IP address of the host computer and the NetScanner™ System module are
not duplicated on the network.
Ensure the link LEDs are active on the scanner and the Ethernet hub or switch to
which it is attached. Also ensure the link LEDs are active on the host computer’s
Ethernet adapter and the hub or switch to which it is attached.
!
!
Ensure the Ethernet adapter card installed in the host is properly configured without
conflict. In Windows®95 this can be verified by entering the CONTROL PANEL
under SETTINGS. Under CONTROL PANEL, select the SYSTEM icon. When
the DEVICE MANAGER tab is selected, a list of all installed hardwaredeviceswill
be displayed. Any possible hardware conflicts will be marked in this list with a
yellow warning symbol next to the device in question.
Ensure the Ethernet adapter is configured for 10 Mbit/Sec. Many adapters are
capable of higher speeds that are not compatible with the NetScanner™ System
modules.
6.2
Zero and Gain Calibration Troubleshooting
Incorrect pneumatic setup or incorrect command usage when executing a module’s Re-zero or Span
calibration command (see ‘Z’, ‘h’, and ‘C’ commands in Chapter 3) can result in unexpected
module operation. A common source of errors during these operations is incorrect control of the
module’s internal calibration valve and pneumatic inputs (9016) or their external
pneumatic/hydraulic equivalents (9021/9022).
Pressure connections are described in Chapter 2 while details of calibration procedures are
described throughout Chapter 4. Some common errors and problems are listed below. These
common problems apply primarily to Model 9016 with its internal transducers and calibration
manifold. However, similar symptoms may be encountered with external pneumatic/hydraulic
calibration equipment connected to a model 9021/9022’s all-media transducers.
!
The module’s supply air input is either not attached or does not provide enough
pressure (less than 65 psig) to shift the calibration valve. This results in the
calibration valve remaining in its current position even though module commands
have requested movement of the valve.

NetScanner™ System (9016, 9021, & 9022) User’s Manual
!
The module’s calibration valve is not placed in the correct position before executing
the Span calibration command (Calculate & Set Gain). This command will not
automatically shift the valve to the CAL position before taking data (as the Re-zero
calibration command does). The user must manually control the calibration valve
position using the Set Operating Options(‘w’) command if the CAL and CAL REF
inputs are to be used.
!
The Re-Zerocalibration command (Calculate& Set Offsets) will automatically shift
the calibration valve unless the option is disabled with the Set Operating Options
(‘w’) command. The valve will be placed in the CAL position (with a small delay)
before taking Re-zero data. Afterwards, the valve will be placed in the RUN
position.
!
!
Zero (offset) and Span (gain) correction terms are not automatically saved in
transducer nonvolatile memory. If they are not saved using the Set Operating
Options (‘w’) command, they will be lost when module power is turned off. Verify
that new coefficients produce valid data before saving them.
When Span calibrating a multi-range unit, attach the calibration pressures to the
individual measurement input ports of the range beingcalibrated and not to the CAL
input port. Use of the common CAL input may result in over-pressuring lower range
channels. When sending the Calculate and Set Gain(‘Z’) command, ensure that the
position field bits are set only for those channels that are attached to the calibration
pressure.
!
!
When using the standard Calculate and Set Gain (‘Z’) command, the module
firmware assumes, by default, that each particular transducer’s full-scale pressure is
present at its pneumatic/hydraulic input. All internal calculations of gain correction
are based on the exact full scale pressure being applied to the transducers. If it is not
possible to provide this exact pressure (as when using a dead weight tester), the
alternate form of this command should be used. This allows the host to specify the
exact upscale pressure applied to the transducers being calibrated.
When using the standard Calculate and Set Offsets (‘h’) command, the module
firmware assumes, by default, that each particular transducer’s zero pressure is
present at its pneumatic/hydraulic input. All internal calculations of zero correction
are based on an input pressure of 0.0 psi. If it is not possible to provide this exact
pressure (as when calibrating an absolute pressure transducer), the alternate form of
this command should be used. This allows the host to specify the exact minimum
pressure applied to the transducers being calibrated.

Start-up Software
7.1 Introduction
The NetScanner™ System Unified Startup Software (NUSS) allows you to operate, from a
Windows®-based host PC, a diverse network of pressure scanner modules and/or
standard/calibrator modules of the NetScanner™ System type.
NUSS integrates a diverse set of older “startup,” “query,” and “test” programs that were often
very module-specific. NUSS recognizes each NetScanner™ System module type it finds on the
network and automatically provides that module with its appropriate functionality by
dynamically adjusting the program’s form and menu content. NUSS allows you to operate
NetScanner™ System modules singly or together in selected groups without having to write any
custom software, and without having to learn low-level commands. The software was designed
to permit you to test almost every possible module function with a simple interactive point-and-
click interface.
NUSS is provided to all customers who have purchased a NetScanner™ System Intelligent
Pressure Scanner. The software as well as the User’s Manual may be downloaded from PSI’s
