5.8  Programming Instructions 

 
The P-series has he possibility to programming some parameter to optimize the inclinometer. 
This programming instruction is valid for single and duals axis P-series. 
 
A standardized RS232 interface is used in duplex mode.  
After startup the sensor transmits the angle values in degrees (°) continuously. 
  

5.8.1  Commands in user level  

 

Default after power on, running mode. 
 

Commands in user 
level 

Input 

Output 

Comment 

-Setup mode- 

Stop continuous output 
of inclination values 

“s” 

“s” 

`s` holding pressed, stops the continuous output 
of angle results, required for input of commands, 
terminated by “e” or reset or power on. 

-Setup mode- 
Activate  
 

“P” 
“prog” 
 

“P?” 
“P!” 
 

This command is used to activate the setup 
mode. The password `prog` has to be entered 
within 3 seconds. If you lose out on, the unit will 
be going into the running mode. 

Command request 

 

“B?” 

After received `B?`, choose the single step, baud 
rate setting, zero setting or close the setup 
mode. 

Exit 

“e” 

“E!” 

To closed the setup mode, press `e´ to go into 
running mode or go to another step. 

-Single step mode- 

Activate 
 

“s” 

“S!” 
“S?” 

This command is used to activate the single step 
mode. Change the continuous output of angle 
results into polling mode. 

Single step activation, 
off 

“0” 

CR,LF 
“B?” 

The single step activation will be stopped, 
off.(default value) 

Single step activation, 
on 

“1” 

CR,LF 
B?” 

The single step activation will be running, on. 
Polling mode. 

Exit 

“e” 

“E!” 

To closed the single step mode, press `e´ to go 
into single step polling.
