Initial commissioning
The LMS1xx is adapted to the local measurement or detection situation using SOPAS ET.
For this purpose a custom parameter set is created using SOPAS ET. The parameter set can
either be loaded initially from the device (upload) or it can be prepared independently.
The parameter set is then loaded into the LMS1xx (download). This action is performed
either immediately (SOPAS ET option I
MMEDIATE
DOWNLOAD
) or manually (SOPAS ET command
D

ALL

).
Important
Once the configuration has been completed, the parameter set must be saved in non-
volatile memory in the LMS1xx. In addition, the parameter set has to be saved as a project
file (*.spr file with configuration data) on the PC and archived.

Configuring the LMS1xx
You can configure the LMS1xx in two ways:
Interactively using SOPAS ET
This section describes the interactive configuration.
Using configuration telegrams
On this subject please read
section 3.12 “Data communication using telegrams” on
Interactive configuration using SOPAS ET
All parameters that can be configured for the LMS1xx are type-dependently combined into
a corresponding device description (sdd-file) for SOPAS ET. You can open this file using the
device description project tree.
The function of each parameter is explained in a context-sensitive online help (F1 key). The
valid range of values and the default are listed in the P

window (right mouse
