ONVERSION OF PARAMET ERS FOR THE
R1
SENSORS
The mic-XX/YY/HV/M30 and lcs-XX/YY/HV/QP ultrasonic sensors have been revised in terms of hard-
ware and software. The revised sensors are additionally marked with "R1" in the product designation:
mic-101/IU/HV/M30 becomes mic-101/IU/HV/M30 R1
These R1 sensors are mechanically, electrically and acoustically downward-compatible with the old Ics
sensors.
Programming via the LinkControl software has changed for the new R1 sensors.
The parameter files of the R1 sensors are not compatible with those of the old sensors.
The R1 sensors no longer support the LinkCopy function via the master sensor.
The filter settings have changed.
To transfer the sensor settings of an old Ics sensor to a new R1 sensor, you can read out the sensor set-
tings from the old Ics sensor via the LinkControl software (or load your parameter file from the hard disk)
and then write the settings into the connected R1 sensor. Version 7.3.0 or higher of the LinkControl soft-
ware converts the parameters of the old sensor and indicates whether the conversion was successful.
This procedure is described below.
 Connect the old sensor with the sensor settings to be converted to the LinkControl adaptor and
read out the parameters
or
 open the parameter file from the hard disk.
