Campbell SkyVUE 8, Product Manual

Page: 39 / 116

NOTE:
Commands will always output all parameters on a new line after a CR LF (carriage return and
line feed) and then the SkyVUE 8 prompt CS136>. If you only want to see parameter values
without changing them, then enter the command without parameters. If a particular
parameter did not need changing, then the parameter can be replaced with a comma (,).
Back space will abort the command.
5.1.3 Terminal mode command examples
How to enter a command
Example 1
The following text shows an example of setting up the SkyVUE 8 serial port. This example sets the
serial port to RS-232 hand shaking at 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity and if it was in RS-485
mode, then a 100 ms turn around delay.
serial 0 10 0 100
You could also type the following to obtain the same results as the RS-485 turn around delay is
not needed:
serial 0 10 0
To change only the data baud rate, you can replace mode parameter, with a comma (,) as shown
below.
serial , 10
Alternatively if you just wished to change the parity to 8-bits no parity, then type the following:
serial , , 0
You do not need to replace the remaining parameters with a comma (,); you only need to replace
the ones up to the parameter you wish to edit.
NOTE:
Leave a space character between the command and the parameters as shown in the
examples.
Example 2
Entering the
MCFG
command, as shown below, will set the sensor to send messages at 10 second
intervals and to send one message only with the message number 112.
MCFG 10 112 0 0 0 0 (return)
The four zeros indicate that no other message outputs have been set. The
MCFG
command is
described in Table 5-1 (p. 28).
