5.4.3 Serial Options
The Serial Options box provides two options:
Suppress Clear Data
and
Suppress
Header
.
Suppress Clear Data
provides one method to reduce the amount of data being
transmitted by the control module, accomplished by not sending data when no object
is detected. The control module transmits serial data only when one or more
unblanked beams of the light screen array are blocked. When the array goes from
blocked to clear, data is sent one additional time, indicating the clear condition.
Suppress Header
is used to prevent transmission of the three-byte identification
string (“header string”) associated with either ASCII or Binary data formats. The
header string consists of two bytes at the start of the data, and a termination byte to
mark the end of the serial transmission. See Appendix A for more information on
serial data formats.
5.5 Transfer of PSF to the Control Module
After making all of the selections in the PSF Configuration screen, the PSF may be
sent to the control module by clicking the
Send PSF
button (see Figure 5-26). This
command loads the PSF into the non-volatile memory of the control module, and
automatically overwrites the current PSF. The program will confirm that the PSF was
accepted, or will notify the user of changes required to the PSF.
To check the values of the PSF currently loaded into the control module, select
Upload
PSF
. The current PSF will be displayed on the PSF Configuration screen.
