Operational Control of the EpiSensor2
The sensor can be controlled in multiple ways: button pushing (local), digitizer enable lines (remote) and
RS-232 (local and/or remote). Using either of these, the operator can control the full-scale range, and
AUTOZERO state, of the sensor. Using the digitizer or RS-232 interfaces, the user can exercise a
complete calibration (CAL) capability. Using a dedicated digital line connected to the digitizer, the
operator can issue a RESET to the sensor that is similar to a Power-ON-RESET. Finally, the user can use
the RS-232 interface to communicate with the sensor to receive a variety of sensor-specific information
(serial numbers, scalar response values, etc.). The RS-232 command line menu is discussed further
below.
