Programming via ASCII Commands
As an added feature you can program the sensor via an ASCII interface, physically the RS422. This requires,
that the sensor must be connected to a serial RS422 interface via a suitable interface converter, see Chap.
Pay attention in the programs used to the correct RS422 default setting.
Once connected, you can transmit the commands from the appendix, see Chap.

Timing, Measurement Value Flux
The sensor requires three cycles for measurement and calculation without triggering:
Each cycle takes 500 µs at a measuring rate of 2 kHz. The measured value N is available at the output after
three cycles. The delay between acquisition and output is therefore 1500 µs. As the processing in the cycles
occurs parallel, after another 500 µs, the next measured value (N+1) is output.
