9.5 Command List
In depending from the specific commands, the following characters are used:
? ... host (e.g. PC) requests for a parameter value of the unit
! ... unit acknowledges a valid parameter request and responses with the parameter value
= ... host forces the unit to set a certain parameter
# ... unit informs the host, a parameter was set on the control panel manually
* ... unit's error response
Description
Burst string format
Ambient radiation correction
(FA only)
Measured attenuation
Advanced Hold Threshold
Baud rate (5)
Emissivity
Valley hold time (FA only)
Average time (4)
Top of mA range
Sensor internal ambient
Switch panel lock
Relay alarm output control
Bottom of mA range
Mode (FR only)
Target temperature

Peak hold time (4)
(1) P = Poll Mode (Request for a parameters), B = Burst Mode (continuous sending of parameters in the burst string), S = Set
(Command for setting a parameters), N = Notification (Acknowledgment for setting a parameter)
(2) n = number, X = uppercase letter
(3) see section 9.3.2 Burst Mode, p. 40
(4) Setting peak hold cancels average, and vice‐versa. 300.0 means reset only with external trigger
(5) The sensor restarts after a baud rate change.
