Displaying, Configuring and Resetting Parameters
As the AR3000 sensor is configured for specific requirements, it may be helpful to view the
settings that are saved in the sensors EEPROM. Below are list of commands that allow users to
view or reset parameters.
5.5.1.
Displaying current settings (PA)
Type
PA<Enter>
to display the current AR3000 settings as shown below:
measure frequency[MF]............2000(max2000)hz
trigger delay/level[TD]..........0.00msec 0
average value[SA]................20
scale factor[SF].................1.000000
measure window[MW]...............-5000.000 5000.000
distance offset[OF]..............1.000
error mode[SE]...................1
digital out[Q1]..................20.000 10.000 1.000 1
digital out[Q2]..................1.000 30.000 0.500 1
analog out[QA]...................1.000 300.000
RS232/422 baud rate[BR]..........115200
RS232/422 output format[SD]......dec (0), value (0)
RS232/422 output terminator[TE]..0Dh 0Ah (0)
SSI output format[SC]............bin (0)
pilot laser [PL].................2
autostart command[AS]............ID
5.5.2.
Show Hardware Status (HW)
Type
HW<Enter>
to display a specific list of diagnostic information for the AR3000 sensor.
The information can be interpreted by a technician at Acuity.
5.5.3.
Show Internal Temperature (TP)
Type
TP<Enter>
to display the sensor’s internal temperature.
This will output the sensor’s internal temperature in the format [–]000.0 (°C). This may be
helpful information if the sensor will be installed in environments which exceed the
temperature specification for the unit -40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C).
5.5.4.
Reset all Parameters (PR)
Type
PR<Enter>
to restore the AR3000 to factory default settings. This command does not
affect the baud rate.
The serial port will respond by displaying all of the new settings (like the PA command).
5.5.5.
Perform Diagnostic Reset (DR)
Type
DR<Enter>
to perform a diagnostic reset of the AR3000, simulating an actual voltage
break situation. This command may prove useful for testing the behavior of the AR3000
when power is applied.
