ONFIGURATION

RSDetection supports a subset of the serial commands used on the older units. This section
describes the supported and unsupported commands.

THIS MODE OF OPERATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW SYSTEMS MADE
ENTIRELY OF RSDETECTION. IT SHOULD BE USED ONLY ON EXISTING SYSTEMS WHICH
INCLUDE BOTH RSDETECTION AND OLDER UNITS WHERE EXISTING CENTRAL
COLLECTION SOFTWARE IS ALREADY IN PLACE USING OLDER COMMANDS.

8.6.1

Legacy Command Support

Table 22 though Table 31 list commands from legacy units and specify those that are
supported and those that are not supported for the RSDetection firmware. Commands are
listed by category.

8.6.2

“D”, “L” and “E” Commands

Table 22 "D", "L", and "E" Command Support

Command

Support

Comments

D

Yes

Computes the average dose rate since the last “D” command
was received.
Command
#D0<CR>
Response
D Y 0 SSSS HHHH BB.BB AAAAA EEEE CC<CR><LF>

Y – Unit address
SSSS - CPU STATUS: 0 = OK 1 = ERROR,

A/D STATUS: 0 = OK 1 = ERROR
BATTERY STATUS: 0 = OK 1 = LOW (<6.0 V),
ALARM FLAG: 0 = NO ALARM 1 = ALARM.

HHHH – High voltage
BB.BB – Battery voltage
AAAAA – Dose rate in mR/h
EEEE – Minutes unit has been averaging
CC – Sum of digits not including the "D" or Check Sum
