Sampling on Start-up
The Save Current Settings command can be used to instruct the sensor to start streaming data as
soon as it powered on. This can be useful in sensor integration applications in which immediate data
acquisition is desired, and connection to MIP Monitor for data logging is not required. This functionality
can also be embedded in user- designed applications by using the corresponding LORD Sensing
MIP Data Communications Protocol (DCP) command. To view or download the DCP Manual, go
to:
http://www.microstrain.com/support/documentation
, from the drop-down menu select 3DM-GX5-
10, and then select document from the list.
NOTE
When setting the sensor to begin sampling on start-up, verify that the sensor is
sampling by reading the status indicator on the device (
), or by viewing the serial data stream from the host
computer. If communication with MIP Monitor is established, the sampling will
stop to facilitate device configuration.
To save the current sensor configuration, first adjust the sensor settings to the desired values, and then
start streaming. Next select Settings > Save Current Settings from the main window (
). The setting will remain intact when the sensor is powered off and then on again.
To recall the last saved settings select Settings > Load Startup Settings.
