Q1 / Q2 – Digital switching output
The purpose of Q1 and Q2 is to represent distance readings as logic operation
data. They report events of positive or negative exceeding of a preset
switching range with a certain amount of hysteresis.
Accordingly, they are perfectly suited for direct reprocessing of monitored
quantities such as filling level or for detection of objects. Parameter settings
are made via the serial interface. The command to achieve this is Q1w_x_y_z
(where “_” is equivalent to space (0x20)).
