5.8.2 The Set command
The
Set
command is used for
changing a property. The
corresponding
Get
command
can be used to verify the new
setting, as shown in
Use the
Save
commands to permanently store the new property value. Remember to always wait
for the acknowledge character
‘#’
after a save before switching off power to the sensor. If the
power is lost while saving, the previous configuration saved to flash is used by the sensor.
The
Mode
and
Baudrate
property will require a
Reset
before the change is executed. All other
property changes will be executed immediately.
5.8.3 XML commands
The
Get ConfigXML
command outputs all available sensor properties in XML-format.
The
Get DataXML
command outputs all available sensor parameters in XML-format.
The
XML-output
is a general format shared by all Aanderaa smart sensors; the output from
different types of smart sensors can be read and presented as e.g. in a general smart sensor
setup program.
5.8.4 Formatting the Output String
The property called
Enable Text
controls the presentation of measured data. When the property is
set to
(Yes)
the output string includes the descriptive parameter name. When the property is set to
(No),
the output parameters are presented without descriptive parameter names; the parameter
order is the same.
The property called
Enable DecimalFormat
controls the format of the output values, either as
decimal numbers
(
Yes
),
or in exponential format
(
No
).
