Description

 

Command Syntax 

(command underlined)

 

ACCUBAR

®

 response (underlined) 

"a" represents the  

single-character address

 

XOP  Set Operating 

Parameters 

 

(Version 2.1 

and higher) 

aXOPp! 

where p is the desired operating 

parameter to be set. 

values for p 

0  Factory default condition which 

starts reporting pressure readings 

when an RS-232 connection is 

made. 

1  Disable automatic reading mode 

for RS-232 

 

All input values are standard SDI-12 

values with polarity sign 

attt1 

where ttt indicates the command will be 

complete in ttt seconds and 1 indicates 

one value can be collected. 

 

Note:

 a D0 command issued after the 

XOP will return the current operating 

parameters. 

XS 

Self-Cal the 

Elevation 

Offset 

 

 

aXSdu! 

where d is the desired reading for the 

sensor and in the units indicated by u.  

The ACCUBAR

®

 will make repeated 

measurements and adjust the 

elevation offset to insure the reading 

matches the value entered. 

 

Example: 0XS+1007.9+0 

(sensor is at 1007.9 mB, adjust offset 

to insure this reading) 

 

attt1 

where ttt indicates the command will be 

complete in ttt seconds and 1 indicates 

one value can be collected. 

 

Note:

 a D0 command issued after XS is 

complete will display the new offset in 

units of mB for software versions prior 

to 2.0.  Version 2.0 and later return the 

offset in the current units of pressure.  

The offset can also be displayed using 

the M3 command. 

XT 

Set 

Averaging 

Time 

(Version 1.5 

and higher) 

aXT+t! 

t = averaging time in seconds (0 to 

240 seconds) 

 

Example: 0XT+10! 

(sets the averaging time to 10 

seconds) 

a0011 

indicating the command will be complete 

in 1 second and 1 value can be collected 

 

Note:

 a D0 command issued after the 

XT will return the number of samples to 

be averaged during the selected time.
