Comment: This function gives the same results
as BINARY TOPBEAM when the transmitters
and receivers are reversed end-to-end. This is
why the beam numbering starts at the cable end
for TOPBEAM and away from the cable end for
BOTBEAM.
BINARY TOTAL Mode
BINARY TOTAL Mode reports the total
number of beams blocked.
Syntax:
BINARY TOTAL
Data Format: Report is one byte which is the
binary number for the total number of beams
blocked. There are no delimiters. Maximum size
that can be reported is 255
10
. The report value is
000000 if no object is detected.
BINARY CENTER Mode
BINARY CENTER Mode reports the
position of the center of the largest object
detected.
Syntax:
BINARY CENTER
Data format: Report is one byte which is the
binary number for the position of the center of
the largest object detected. There are no
delimiters. Beam numbering starts with zero at
the beam closest to the cable. Maximum value
that can be reported is 255
10
. The report value is
000000 if no object is detected. Beam position
numbering starts at one for the beam closest to
the cable.
BINARY QLIST
BINARY QLIST gives a list of the size and
position of each object detected.
Syntax:
BINARY QLIST
Data format: Report gives a variable number of
pairs of bytes, one byte for each object detected,
followed by one byte of value 00
16
. (If no object
is detected, only one byte is given of value 00
16
.)
In each pair of bytes, the first byte is the
position (beam closest to the cable) blocked by
the object and the second byte is the number of
beams blocked by the object. Beam position
numbering starts at one for the beam closest to
the cable.
