  • Page 19: Programming / Configuration

    Programming / configuration Scaling of measured values Each channel can be configured individually for a defined measuring range, e.g. For measuring •with wire strain gauges 2 mV/V, •with wire strain gauges 10 mV/V, •with active sensors 0-5 V, •with temperature sensors PT1000, •with type K thermocouples, •with active sensors 0–10 V, The measuring range is set using the command “set_gain”.

  • Page 24 Note: Care should be taken to ensure that the request for measured values does not occur more frequently than the set data frequency. Otherwise, a current measured value will not be available every time there is a request. The same measured values are requested repeatedly.

  • Page 25 save_configuration (0A) / restore_configuration (09) The entire configuration (data frequency, configuration of inputs, etc.) can be saved and restored as a parameter set. Two memories are available for the configuration. Parameters in HEX Description Manufacturer setting User setting 1 User setting 2 set_user_scale (BA) / get_user_scale (BB) A scaling factor in 32 Bit format can be stored for each channel.
  • Page 26 get_mode (0x27) get_tx_status (0x29) get_firmware_version (0x2B) can be used! To be able to use all of the commands, “set_mode” has to be sent. Commands begin with the code followed by parameters. Code Parameter Examples: Requesting serial number 1F Setting channel 1 to zero: 0C 01 Protocol for responding to commands Responses are framed by a prefix 0x3B and a postfix from the sign 0x0D 0x0A (carriage return linefeed).
