H-3342
3.12 Extended Read/Write 4-20mA_Hi and Read/Write 4-20mA_Lo
The H-3342 scales the current Stage data to drive the 4-20mA output. The 4-20mA_Hi and 4-
20mA_Lo settings control how the Stage data is processed. The 4-20mA_Lo should be set to the
desired Stage corresponding to a 4.00mA output. The 4-20mA_Hi should be set to the desired
Stage corresponding to a 20.00mA output. These settings are stored in non-volatile EEPROM
within the sensor. Once the new value is written to the EEPROM, a copy is sent to the sensor
data buffer for verification. This data can be viewed by using a subsequent "D" command. To
verify these settings any other time, use the “XRIH" or “XRIL” commands. For testing purposes,
the H-3342 comes from the factory with 4-20mA_Hi = 20.0 and 4-20mA_Lo = 4.00.
Command Response Description
"aXRIH!" “a0021" Read 4-20mA_Hi
"aXRIL!" “a0021" Read 4-20mA_Lo
"aXWIHddd!" “a0021" Write 4-20mA_Hi
"aXWILddd!" “a0021" Write 4-20mA_Lo
Where: a is the sensor address ("0-9", "A-Z", "a-z", "*", "?").
XRIH are upper case characters.
XRIL are upper case characters.
XWIH are upper case characters.
XWIL are upper case characters.
ddd is the new value.
This command takes 001 seconds to complete and places 1 value in the data buffer. Use the
“aD0" command to collect and view the slope or offset.
