4.3.3
Command execution in local programming
The
(increase) and
(decrease) keys are used to choose the function and select the
data to enter; confirmation is via the ENTER
ENTER
key.
•
Executable
commands.
Some functions are purely
commands
and do not have a value
assigned to them. In this case the function is activated by pressing ENTER
ENTER
. Some
commands also require confirmation before execution.
•
Read only parameters.
Other functions are parameters whose values are altered while
the metal detector is in use (e.g. the alarm counter). In this case the current value can be
read (
status request
) by pressing ENTER
ENTER
. To exit from the command press ENTER
ENTER
once more.
•
Read/write
parameters.
The remaining parameters can be both visualised and modified
by the operator (the parameter can therefore function as a
status request
or as a
command
).The current value of the parameter is visualised on the display to the right of
the function code. Any modification of the value is activated by pressing ENTER
ENTER
.
4.3.4
Exit from local programming
At the end of the session, press PROG
PROG
key.
4.4 Remote
programming
As well as from the keyboard, CEIA Metal Detectors can be programmed remotely from a PC
station, so allowing direct access to each programming function.
4.4.1 Connections
•
Serial
communication:
focus on the
MD
upper/lower box used for the power supply
connection; locate the serial port (labelled ‘
|O|O|
’ or
PS/COM
’);
connect the
PC COM
port
to the MD serial port, placing the power supply and serial communication cables together,
in order to avoid loops.
ATTENTION:
in order to avoid any damage to the PC's interface, make
sure that the cable does not include a connection to pin 1 (use of CEIA connection cable code 54567
is highly recommended).
•
Communication through other types of
connection
:
Ethernet interface or Bluetooth
TM
interface, if available, can be used to connect the unit.
4.4.2
Access to the remote programming phase using the password
•
After powering up the terminal and Metal Detector (wait the end of the initial warming up
period), enter the password by means of the terminal keyboard (no echo of the typed
characters is provided).
•
If the password is recognised, the programming phase prompt will appear (> for user level,
# for super-user level). Otherwise
the password must be re-entered. After the 5th failed
attempt to enter the password, the device will pause for 10 seconds to avoid any
computerised search for the password by ill-intentioned persons.
4.4.4
Free access to remote programming phase without password
Simply press ENTER key to access the programming.
4.4.5
Command execution in remote programming
•
Everything entered via the terminal keyboard will be displayed on the monitor.
•
The delete key (BACKSPACE) can be used to correct any possible input errors.
•
The command will be executed once the carriage return key has been pressed
(ENTER) .
•
The syntax for the commands is strict. If any non-valid syntax is entered, an error message
will be sent by the device. Either upper or lower case characters can be used to enter
commands.
4.4.6
Exit from remote programming
At the end of the session, enter the PE command (Programming End, see below).
