3.3 Sensor configuration
There are a number of sensor characteristics which can be set via command which have been defined as
configurations.
Configurations are:
•
Measuring mode (absolute measurement or relative measurement within the Teach range)
•
Output format when using permanent periodical measurement (ASCII or Binary)
•
Sensor sensitivity (Sensors with beam columnator)
•
Number of averagings
•
Temperature compensation on, off
•
Teach-in of Sdc and Sde
When leaving production a sensor is pre-configured with its factory settings. These factory settings can be
restored using a special command which overwrites the currently set configuration.
Principle
The functionality of the sensors as well as the output format of the data measured can be set by means of
the configuration commands.
Once the configuration has been carried out the data measured can be retrieved. It is provided according to
the configuration set after every request for data sent. The chosen configuration is stored in a non-volatile
memory and is not lost in a power down situation.
3.4 Factory configurations
Ex factory the sensor is shipped with the following pre-set configurations:
Measuring mode:
B (relative)
Output format: A (ASCII)
Sensitivity level: A (Sensors with beam columnator)
Number of averagings: C (4 averagings)
Temperature compensation: 0 (off)
