The Mensor CPC6000 controller is setup as an Example Device in COMPASS for Pressure and can be used to create a new device by making a new Support Device, choosing Mensor as the Manufacturer, and CPC6000 as the Model, then pressing the "Find Previous Setup" icon to select its example setup file.
However, that setup does not include a Ready/NotReady command so this is how to set that up. The attached MS Word(R) file is the same as the below text/images.
