Bowers Group Sylvac D100S Readouts - Manual (Page 46)

- UP = retraction of probes using D110/D110V.
- DOW = return motion of probes using D110/D110V.
- OUT 1 = activates automatic output of values:
- in normal measurement mode:
each displayed value is also transmitted to RS232 output.
In this case, the transmission speed at 9600 bauds is:
in 0.0001 mm/0.000 01
IN = 3 trans. per sec.
in 0.001 mm/0.000 1 IN = 7 trans. per sec.
in 0.01 mm/0.001 IN = 12 trans. per sec.
in 0.1 mm/0.01 IN = 13 trans. per sec.
- in scanning mode display is inhibited (OUTPUT MODE is displayed). Scanning is conti-
nuous and the values are automatically transmitted as well as the status of the external
contact at the end of transmission, for EXT 8 mode.
in 0.0001 mm/0.000 01
IN = 2 trans. per sec.
in 0.001 mm/ 0.000 1 IN = 3 trans. per sec.
in 0.01 mm/0.001 IN = 4 trans. per sec.
in 0.1 mm/0.01 IN = 4 trans. per sec.
- OUT 0 = disables this mode.
- IDE or ID? = identification of instrument --> the unit responds "SYLVAC D100S date V1.0" (V1.0 =
firmware version)
Errors codes transmitted by the D100S unit:
- ERR 1 = parity error of received message
- ERR 2 = syntax error of received message
- ERR 3 = content of RAM memory lost
4/ Programming on an IBM PC or compatible computer
An application diskette for communication with PC can be obtained from a Sylvac agent. This diskette includes a
demonstration program written in Pascal for data acquisition and remote command of D100S unit.
Basic (QBASIC), supplied with all PCs, is the most simple language to use. Below are 2 examples of programs written
in this language found on the diskette:
a/ acquisition of one measured value:
10 CLS clear screen
20 OPEN "COM1:4800, E,7,1, CS, DS, CD" AS#1 selects communication port 1 of computer and the following trans-
mission parameters: 4800 bauds, even parity, 7 bits/car., 1 stop bit.
CS inhibits time-out control of CTS line (Clear to Send), DS for DSR
line (Data Set Ready) and CD for CD line (Carrier Detect).
30 IF INKEY$ <> "" THEN 80 program stops if any key is pressed
40 IF LOC(1) = 0 THEN 30 wait if RS232 input buffer is empty
50 LINE INPUT#1 , A$ inputs one complete line up to CR
60 PRINT A$ displays value transmitted by D100S
70 GOTO 30 ready for new entry
80 END
