Duty Cycle Commands
3.10.1
Activating or Deactivating a Duty Cycle
The commands which activate or deactivate a duty cycle are based on the DC0 and DC1 functions. The command
format is:
Syntax:
[AE or BE] [DC0 or DC1]
[AE or BE] prefix specifies Sensor A or Sensor B
[DC0] turns the duty cycle off for the specified sensor. If the sensor is in Pulse Average Power
(PAP) measurement mode, this command will change the sensor measurement mode to
Modulated Average Power (MAP). If the sensor is not measuring Pulse Average Power at the
time this command is received, then this command will have no effect
[DC1] turns the duty cycle on and enables PAP measurement mode for the specified sensor.
This is equivalent to the PAP command (See PAP Measurement Mode Command in Section
3.18.3)
Example:
AE DC0
! TURNS OFF THE DUTY CYCLE FOR SENSOR A
Example 2:
BE DC1
! TURNS ON THE DUTY CYCLE FOR SENSOR B
3.10.2
Specifying a Duty Cycle
The commands which specify a duty cycle are based on the DY function. The command format is:
Syntax:
[AE or BE] DY [
n
] [EN or PCT or %]
[AE or BE] prefix specifies Sensor A or Sensor B
DY specifies a duty cycle value; it also configures the sensor to Pulse Average Power mode.
Therefore, this function includes the capabilities (and entry error reporting) of the PAP function
(See PAP Measurement Mode Command in Section 3.18.3)
[
n
] species the duty cycle value in percent with a valid range of 0.001% to 99.999% with a
resolution of 0.001%
[EN or PCT or %] is a required terminating suffix
Example:
AE DY 50 %
! SETS 50% DUTY CYCLE FOR SENSOR A
Example 2:
BE DY 25.000 EN
! SETS 25% DUTY CYCLE FOR SENSOR B
Example 3:
BE DY 40.412 PCT
! SETS 40.412% DUTY CYCLE FOR SENSOR B
3.10.3
Reading Duty Cycle Status
The Status Message bit O indicates whether the duty cycle function is active for the selected sensor. 0 indicates
OFF; 1 indicates ON. See
