1.7.4 User Maintenance
This group contains sensor settings that normally are not altered by the user. To access most of these properties you
need to send passkey(1000) or with Real-Time Collector use password: 1000. These properties are used to configure
serial port settings, communication to and from sensor. If you got a wave license key you may also enable wave
functionality, you may enter temperature coefficients if Temperature sensor is included, set limits for discarding ping if
sensor tilt exceeds the limits and property to set the distance from pressure sensor port to centre of transducer
elements.

Baudrate
ENUM 1
RS232 baudrate: 4800, 9600, 57600, or 115200. Default baudrate
is 115200. The baudrate affects the minimum available Interval
setting.
Flow Control
ENUM 1
RS232/RS422 flow control: ‘None’ or ‘Xon/Xoff’. The Xon/Xoff’
characters are also sent for each Doppler ping measurement. To
remove the “disturbance” on the receiver, select None. Be aware
that this may also lead to missing characters when sending
commands to the sensor.
Enable Comm
Indicator
ENUM 1
Enable communication sleep (’%’) and communication ready (‘!’)
indicators. After the last communication with the sensor, it normally
outputs a ‘%’ when the Comm Timeout time is over. When a
character is sent to the sensor, it outputs a ‘!’ to indicate that it is
ready to communicate.
Comm TimeOut
BOOL 1
Time communication is active (Always On, 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 1min, 2
min, 5 min, 10 min). A short time means that the sensor is going to
sleep faster after a communication input.
Enable Old Time
Setting
BOOL 1
Enables old input in Smart Sensor Terminal mode for Interval and
Polled pingrate.
