• The data exchange for these commands is in ASCII format
<AA>xx<VAL>
<CR> (for the converter box commands) or
<AAXn>xx<VAL>
<CR> (for
sensor head commands), where:
◦
<AA>
is the two-character converter box address
◦
<AAXn>
is the two-character converter box address (
AA
) and the two-
character sensor head number or sensor head address (
Xn
)
☞
Important
The sensor head number can range from 1 to 8. The sensor head
address can be set from A0 to A8. See
on page 3‑12.
◦
xx
is the lowercase two-character command identifier
◦
<VAL>
is a data parameter (entry commands require a data parameter, the
format of which will vary depending on the command)
◦ <CR> represents a carriage return, indicating the end of the command
sequence
• There are no spaces between the address, command, and parameter.
• The command name must be lowercase, with the exceptions of converter box
commands
AA
and
AD
.
• All commands must be terminated with a carriage return <CR> character.
• If you send a read command, the pyrometer will respond with the currently set
parameter.
• If you send an entry command, the currently set parameter will be changed to
the value of the supplied parameter; the pyrometer will respond to confirm that
a change has been made.
• If you send an entry command and either omit the required data parameter or
you replace a required data parameter with
<?>
, the pyrometer will respond
with the possible range of settings for the parameter.
For example:
• If you enter
00A1em
<CR>, the sensor head with address 1 connected to the
converter box with address 00 responds with the current emissivity setting. For
example, a response of
0970
means that the emissivity is currently set to 0.97
(97%).
• If you enter
01N4em65
<CR>, the emissivity setting of sensor head number 4
connected to the converter box with the address 01 is changed to 0.65 (65%);
the pyrometer responds with
ok
.
• If you enter
02A3em?
<CR>, the sensor head with address 3 connected to the
converter box with address 02 responds with the possible range of settings. For
example, a response of
2099
means that 0.20 (20%) is the lowest possible
emissivity setting and 0.99 (99%) is the highest possible emissivity setting.
When using an analog box with multiple connections, some of the commands require
that the settings be clearly allocated to an individual analog out signal. Therefore, in
