Single step polling- 

Activate 

“m” 

“M!” 
“x=xxx.xxx” 
“y=yyy.yyy” 

This command is used to display one 
measurement value. This command must be 
replay if another value is needed. To change this 
mode, start with setup mode. 

-Baud rate mode- 

Activate 

“h” 

“H!” 
“H?” 

This command is used to activate the baud rate 
mode to change the baud rate. 

Baud rate activation  
2400 Baud 

“0”  

CR,LF 
“B?” 

Input acknowledgment with enter. 
2400 Baud (default value) 

Baud rate activation  
9600 Baud 

“1” 

CR,LF 
“B?” 

Input acknowledgment with enter to change into 
9600 Baud 

Exit 

“e” 

“E!” 

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

Zero setting mode-

  

Activate for single axis 
version 

“n” 
 
“x” 
 
 
 
 
 
 
“n” 
 
“x” 
 

“N!” 
“N?” 
“Offset=x” 
“B?” 
 
 
 
 
 
“N!” 
“N?” 
CR,LF 
“Offset=0” 
“B?” 

This command is used to activate zero setting 
mode to safe the currently position of the unit. 
Offset in 1/1000°, x = value 

Notice:  

The zero point can be set only if the current 
angle is between –5°< x <+5°. 
The command is ignored if the angle is outside 
the afore mentioned range. 
 
The connection to zero can be cancelled by 
repeatedly inputting the command `n`, 
factory default. 
 

Exit 

“e” 

“E!” 

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

“N?” 
CR,LF 
“Offset=0” 
“B?” 
CR,LF 
“Offset=0” 
“B?” 

This command is used to activate zero setting 
mode to safe the currently position of the unit. 
Offset in 1/1000°,  
x = x-axis value 
y = y-axis value 

Notice:  

The zero point can be set only if the current 
angle is between 
 –5°< x,y <+5°. 
The command is ignored if the angle is outside 
the afore mentioned range. 
 
The connection to zero can be cancelled by 
repeatedly inputting the command `n`, 
factory default. 

Exit
