Inquire a sample to overwrite a program procedure in SU-262

[Thomas-Pancala]

I met a problem ,when i want to overwrite a program procedure for SU-262 via PC, I already follow the espec program instruction manual, but failed. I can program the fixed temperature mode for SU-262. But I failed in program mode. I doubted the manual has some bug. Please help me.

"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM:2, EDIT START"
"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM:2, STEP1, TEMP25.0, TIME1:00"
"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM:2, STEP2, TEMP10.0, TIME0:30"
"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM:2, EDIT END"

I'm assuming that the SU-262 that you have has a P-200 controller? The P-200 and P-300 are supposed to have the exact same command set; but as Espec North America does not use it in any of our products (it's only used by Espec Japan) I do not have any personal experience with it.

Operating under the assumption that it does use the same command set I would try removing the ":" in the pgm parameter:

"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM2, EDIT START"
"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM2, STEP1, TEMP25.0, TIME1:00"
"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM2, STEP2, TEMP10.0, TIME0:30"
"PRGM DATA WRITE, PGM2, EDIT END"

Or try (untested):

from chamberconnectlibrary.espec import Espec

#adjust these for your application:
interface_params = {'interface':'Serial', 'baudrate':19200, 'serialport':'//./COM7', 'adr':1}

controller = Espec(ctlr_type='P300', loops=1, **interface_params)
program = {
    'steps':[
        {
            'temperature':{'setpoint':25.0}
            'time':{'hour':1, 'minute':0}
        },
        {
            'temperature':{'setpoint':10.0}
            'time':{'hour':0, 'minute':30}
        }
    ]
}
controller.set_prgm(2, program)
