Configuring the interrogator with command strings
As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the interrogator can also be con-
figured and operated with command strings via all the data interfaces. The command
strings can be displayed separately via the SOPAS-ET configuration software.
Important
Both the command strings and the SOPAS-ET configuration software are based on com-
mand language which directly accesses the command interpreter of the interrogator. This
command language must be used with care as the interrogator executes sent commands
immediately. Parameter values altered via commands are, at first, only active in the current
parameter set in the working memory (RAM) of the interrogator. To save in the permanent
memory, the altered parameter set must be copied into the PROM using a special com-
mand; this ensures that the alterations are not lost when the power supply is switched off.
Command strings for triggering the reading pulse:
•
START: <STX>sMN mTCgateon<ETX>
•
STOP: <STX>sMN mTCgateoff<ETX>
If the commands are entered via the terminal emulator of the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware, the two control characters <STX> and <ETX> are omitted.
Connection to the interrogator using the terminal emulator via the Ethernet:
1. Call up the terminal emulator via the menu

tion software and, in the terminal emulator, call up the connection assistant via the
