6.4
Operation modes
6.4.1
DM
–
single distance measurement
LAM71 performs one measurement and then waits for new commands.
The duration of the measurement depends on the number of preset measuring values SA and the pre-
set measuring frequency MF.
Input:
DM
6.4.2
DT
–
Continuous distance measurement (distance tracking)
The LAM71 performs a continuous measurement.
The measurement can be interrupted by command:
ESC (Escape) = 0x1B
The measurement output frequency is determined by the number of preset measuring values SA, the
preset measuring frequency MF and the data format of serial output SD.
Parameter baud rate is important for the data transfer.
Input: DT
Example response (SD 0 3 setting):
D 0002.935 21.1 57.2
Output format
=
decimal (D)
Distance
=
2.935 m
Signal quality

The output frequency of DT depends baud rate BR.
If the baud rate is to low not all measured values can be output / displayed.
