Get pressure setpoint via RS232 command

[mtrellet]

I am controlling the PX-345 through the RS-232 port. I can set and query successfully. I do not see a command to Read the current pressure setpoint. Alpha can be set and checked, pressure SP cannot (that I can see).

The query equivalent of:
CHAN:1P:XXX

I tried the question mark, no success.

Hello,

There is indeed no dedicated command to read the current pressure setpoint. May I ask what is your use case to help you identify potential workarounds?
Did you observe situations where the command order sent did not seem taken into account by the PX? Or is it only an extra verification step?

The device does not send back any acknowledgement of success or failure. This is a production piece of equipment and in the closed loop world, it is required to acknowledge or read back settings to verify what has been applied. This like a pedestrian requirement. I have eight of these devices. I know I can maintain the last value that I sent. Not the same… So, the best I can do with this is to send the command, then query pressure and verify connection is still working with the device? This feels a little hobbyish.
