APPENDIX C: OPERATING PROTOCOLS
The following information assumes that the HI-6113 Laser Data Interface (LDI),
HI-4413P Fiber Optic Modem, or HI-4413USB Fiber Optic to USB Converter was
purchased and is communicating directly with the probe.
Communication Protocol
HI-61XX Series Laserpro Field Probes
Data Type: RS-232 Serial
Data Mode: Asynchronous
Word Length: 8 bit
Parity: N
Stop Bits: 1
Data Rate: 115,200 baud
HI-60XX Series Battery-Operated Field Probes
Data Type: RS-232 Serial
Data Mode: Asynchronous
Word Length: 7bit
Parity: Odd
Stop Bits: 1
Data Rate: 9600 baud
Information Transfer Protocol
The probe responds to commands from another device; it transmits no data
without first receiving instructions to do so.
Command Structure
See the following pages for detailed information regarding the command
structure to the probe. When the probe completes the command, it
responds with a string consisting of:
• A start character (":")
• The command letter
• Data (if required)
• <CR> (a carriage return)
If the command does not require the probe to return any data, the probe
simply responds with the start character (":") then the command letter and
a carriage return. If an error occurs, the probe responds with an error code.
