Set
Where is one of the values listed in the table below.
This command configures the type of data that the gauge will begin transmitting over the RS-
232 port at power-on. The gauge can be configured to output nothing at power-on, can be
configured to output any of the continuous data output modes, or can be configured to
resume transmission of whatever type of data was being transmitted at power-off. If the
gauge is configured to output data at power-up, it can be stopped with a carriage return, or
with the . command, and other commands can be sent for configuration or diagnostic
purposes. If configured for TE, TF, TT, or TB modes, the next time the gauge powers on, it
will start transmitting data again, as configured. If configured for KEEP mode, then the gauge
will remember what type of data it was last transmitting, and will resume transmitting that
same type of data when powered on again. For details about the format of the output data,
see the descriptions of the various data output modes described previously in this section.
Value Description
OFF
(Default) Outputs nothing at power-on, and waits for
commands.
TE
Outputs Text Data (TE mode) data at power-on.
TF
Outputs Final Length Data (TF mode) data at power on.
Each time Material Present is lost, the measured length
will be output.
TT
Outputs Configurable Text Output (TT mode) data at
power on.
TB
Outputs Binary Output (TB mode) data at power on.
KEEP
Resumes transmitting data at power on in the same format
as was being transmitted before power down. The
TE/TF/TT/TB commands can be used to manually change
the output mode.
