@05,01#<cr-lf> Returns average of all Ra values from when the start input pin is activated until stop input pin is
activated.
Response
@05,000.1234,001.1234,ok,dd,12.3456,#<cr-lf>
When the stop input is activated after a start input, a single Ra value representing average of all will be sent.
Ra rough, Ra smooth, Error Code, Max Detector, Sum Voltage of Detectors 1-37
Response Details:
The response from the interconnect board will be the rough then the smooth roughness values. The 2 roughness
values will always be 7 characters in length (including the decimal point character) with padding zeros on either
end when necessary, and always followed by a comma.
Ra rough, Ra smooth, Error Code, Max Detector, Sum Voltage of Detectors 1-37
The error codes will be 2 letters followed by a comma.
ok
–
for measurement completed successfully.
tc
–
for smooth measurement “too close”
tf
–
for smooth measurement “too far”
or
–
for detector “out of range”. Oc
curs if error in defining detectors in configuration file
lv
–
for possible too low sum_voltages for reliable Ra calculation (less than 100 mVolts)
rr - for rough "range error". Occurs if error in defining detectors in configuration file
Note: it is impor
tant to interpret the “tc” and “tf” messages as alignment aids (head “too close” or “too far” for
accurate measurements) only on known smooth surfaces (typically less than 10 to 12 microinches Ra).
Lasercheck may generate a “smooth” Ra value on surfaces ro
ugher than 10 to 12 microinches. On surfaces
rougher than these values the “tc” and “tf” messages should be ignored.
max_detector is the integer value of the detector with the maximum voltage on it. This value will always be 2
digits and can range from 01 to 35. The location of the maximum detector voltage is useful for determining
vertical alignment on smooth surfaces only. Refer to the alignment section in the manual.
sum_voltages is the sum of all voltages from detectors 01 to 35. The value will be 7 characters in length
(including the decimal point character) with padding zeros on either end when necessary, and always followed
by a comma.
@07<cr-lf> Set/Query Failed Part Operation
Sends signal to Specify Failed Part Parameters
Failed Part trigger output is Digital OUT Pin of connector J7. Save measurements response when pin is activated.
