Set Minimum Valid Amplitude
1-4 bytes
ASCII Code:
P[Amplitude]
Input Switch Code: 17
Factory Default: 0 (Distance output calculated for all amplitudes)
Sets the amplitude (signal strength) below which the calibrated distance output
from the serial port and current loop will be zero. This may be used to detect and
prevent what would be inaccurate readings resulting from low signal strength. If
no parameter is entered or the switch is used to issue this command, the presently
measured amplitude is used as the threshold value. Values from 0 to 999 may be
entered. The amplitude of a range measurement is part of the sensor data which
may be sent over the serial port using the Enable Serial Data Output command
(Command “A2
”).
Set Maximum Valid Amplitude
1-4 bytes
ASCII Code:
M[Amplitude]
Input Switch Code: 18
Factory Default: 1023 (Distance output calculated for all amplitudes)
Sets the amplitude (signal strength) ABOVE which the calibrated distance output
from the serial port and current loop will be zero. This may be used to detect and
prevent what would be inaccurate readings resulting from sensor overload. If no
parameter is entered or the switch is used to issue this command, the presently
measured amplitude is used as the threshold value. Values from 0 to 999 may be
entered. The amplitude of a range measurement is part of the sensor data which
may be sent over the serial port using the Enable Serial Data Output command
(Command “A2
”).
Show Version Number
4 bytes
ASCII Code: V1234
(Serial Entry Only)
The characters V1234 entered in sequence will cause the firmware revision
number of the sensor to be output. If data is being output when this command is
used, the version number will appear between samples. The argument “1234” is
required to prevent accidental output during data transmission.
