1. ALMEMO
®
D6 digital sensors
ALMEMO
®
D6 digital sensors incorporate not only an I2C interface integrated in the
plug but also a second serial interface. Each such sensor can thus be connected to any
ALMEMO
®
device with the 'DIGI' setting; (from V5 up an update may be required).
It will thus be possible to configure and use new functions and quantities not actually
supported by your ALMEMO
®
devices; this is achieved by means of the ALMEMO
®
Control software and a sensor menu stored in the sensor itself. For measured values
all functions for correction, spot adjustment, and multi-point adjustment are available
as in previous versions. (see 2.2) A new function is the possibility of programming an
internal measured value smoothing factor over multiple channels, (see 3.3).
2. Operation as sensor on any ALMEMO
®
instrument
The ALMEMO
®
D6 sensor, using measuring range
´DIGI´
, supplies digital measured
values from up to 4 measuring channels to the ALMEMO
®
device, where these are
then processed as usual. Any channel can be switched off, deactivated, and reacti-
vated via the ALMEMO
®
device itself; and concealed channels (marked with ~) can
be managed in exactly the same way. Certain function channels can also be pro-
grammed and used. The sensor is powered via the measuring instrument. To operate
certain sensors in sleep mode it will be necessary to program a sleep extension.
The operating radius of these sensors when connected to a measuring instrument can
be extended by means of universal extension cables ZA9090-VKCxx; measured val-
ues and connector programming can then be transmitted interference-free in serial
form via an RS485 driver.
When configuring the sensor menu, given the absence of drivers for the second inter-
face, the extension must be no more than 10 meters in length. When using the exten-
sion cable sleep mode operation is not possible.
