2.1 Operating Mode
Immediately on power-up the 1007D Altimeter scans its
RS232/485 telemetry interface for the first ten seconds in
order to detect MS1000 telemetry. If successful, the altimeter
sets itself up as an MS1000 device for control by an MS1000
PC host. If no MS1000 is detected within the allotted time, the
1007D goes into its factory-configured default mode. These
modes are one of the following and are configured at the
factory as per customer requirements:
a)
807 mode
: operates as a standalone instrument with an
analog output interface, where range measurements
are output continuously as a 0…10V signal only. All
range, detection, and output scaling settings are
configured at the factory as per customer
requirements. The
807 mode can only be entered as a
power-up default. While operating in this mode, the
telemetry type (RS232, RS485, or RS422) is fixed by
a factory-configured setting, and cannot be changed.
b)
808 mode
: emulates a standalone Model 808
Altimeter, where range measurements are
continuously output via a quasi-full-duplex telemetry
interface (RS232, RS485, or RS422). In this mode the
altimeter accepts XON/XOFF characters from a
computer to pause/resume pinging. All range,
detection, and output scaling settings are configured at
the factory as per customer requirements. This mode
can only be entered as a power-up default. During this
mode, the telemetry type (RS232, RS485, RS422) is
fixed by a factory-configured setting, and cannot be
changed.
c)
809 mode
: operates as a standalone instrument, where
range measurements are continuously output via a
quasi-full-duplex telemetry interface (RS232, RS485,
or RS422). Range, detection, and output scaling
parameters are programmable via serial commands.
This mode can only be entered as a power-up default.
