by moving in the forward direction (the direction that encoder calibration was performed in).
Serial Output
The Gocator's web interface can be used to select measurements to be transmitted via RS-485 serial
output. Each sensor has one serial output channel.
The ASCII protocol outputs data asynchronously using a single serial port. See ASCII Protocol on page 354
