January 2014 - TD 302 Operating Manual for Pressure 4117/4117R Tide 5217/5217R, Wave & Tide 5218/5218RPage 79
Specific Changes:
1. Input command line termination is changed from line feed (LF) with optional carriage return to
line feed and mandatory carriage return (LF+CR).
2. ‘Do Stop’ and ‘Do Start’ command changed to ‘Stop’ and ‘Start’
3. All units in output string changed from ‘(‘ and ‘)’ type parenthesis to ‘[‘ and ‘]’ type, example
[hPa].
4. The Sleep indicator (‘%’) and the Wakeup indicator (‘#’) is replaced by a Communication Sleep
(‘%’) indicator and a Communication Ready (‘!’) indicator. A property called ‘Enable Comm
Indicator’ can be used for enabling/disabling of these characters.
5. Polled mode is no longer enabled by setting the interval to zero (Set Interval(0) is now illegal). A
property called Enable Polled Mode is now used for controlling polled/non-polled mode.
6. The ‘Output’ property is substituted by a ‘Mode’ property for changing the operation mode, for
example; ‘Set Mode(Smart Sensor Terminal)’. Specific properties control the formatting of the
output string, for example ‘Set Enable Text(no)’.
7. The startup notification (at power up) is changed from ‘Mode <Mode name>’ to the following
format: ‘StartupInfo <Product No.> <Serial no.> Mode <Protocol Name> Version
<Version No.> Config Version <Version No.>’, for example; ‘StartupInfo 4330 83
Mode AADI Smart Sensor Terminal Protocol RS232 Protocol Version 3 Config Version
6’
8. The startup notification will be switched off when the ‘Enable Text’ property is set to ‘no’.
9. A ‘*’ will precede the parameter name if an error status related to the specific parameter occur.
This applies for example to the tide parameter of the Wave an Tide Sensor before the sample
base is complete : ‘*Tide Pressure[kPa] 0.00’
