Table 8: SERIAL MENU FUNCTIONS 

MAIN MENU 

OPTION 

FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE WITHIN MENU OPTION 

A. Serial Setup 

Serial Baud, Parity, and (TSM-PM only) Serial Protocol Selection 

B. Data Output 

Setup 

List of Output Parameters, indicating whether they are Enabled, how 

many Decimals are displayed, the Units for the parameters, and the data 

Tag. From this menu, press the menu letter key to access submenus that 

control these Output Parameters. 

C. Instrument 

Setup 

Data Output Rate, Orientation, and (TSM-PM only) Trigger parameters 

D. Calibration 

Walks the User through calibration steps for User-performed wind, level, 

and compass calibration.  

 

To calibrate the wind sensor, the User places the instrument in a 

zero-airflow chamber equipped with a temperature sensor, and 

the User enters a value for local humidity.  

 

The level sensor calibration requires a surface that is known to 

be level and that can support the TSM level to the surface. 

 

Compass calibration requires the User to twist and rotate the 

sensor in a three-dimensional figure-eight fashion, in similar 

manner to how cell phones calibrate an internal compass. 

E. Diagnostic 

Runs built-in diagnostics and displays the results. 

G. Instrument 

     Reset 

Resets the instrument, clearing all volatile memory, restoring to non-

volatile memory settings. 

X. Exit 

without 

storing changes

 

Exits the menu with the changes the User has made, allowing the User 

to apply the changes temporarily. These changes are not stored in the 

non-volatile memory and will be lost after a system reset/system power-

down. 

0.  Exit 

Exits the menu and stores changes in non-volatile memory. These 

changes are retained even after a system reset/system power-down 

 

Command Line Interface - Basic 

To enter command line interface (CLI) mode, press Ctl+C. The TSM Sensor stops 

sampling and provides a User prompt: “>”. New in 2.0, if no User input is given within 

one minute, the TSM Sensor returns to sampling mode. 

Details of all available commands and their parameters are accessed within the 

Command Line interface by typing “help” at the User prompt. For reference, some of the 

commands are listed below. Parameters are indicated with “<” and “>” characters; you 

will replace the angle brackets and the text with the parameter value. Parameters 

shown within square brackets “[“ and “]” are optional. 

NOTE: We attempt to make the TSM CLI self-documenting, so with 
future Firmware Releases, the detailed help for each command may be 
more current than appears in the following table.
