Operating Modes; Mode C - Continuous; Mode M - Continuous Measurement - Valeport Hyperion Operating Manual

0901814c - Hyperion Fluorometer

7.2. Operating Modes

Hyperion can operate in a number of modes.
The set up of these modes uses a macro like format where a command C02 or M32 (# not required)
will set the unit into a particular mode and set multiple filter settings appropriately for that mode and
update period.
Other operational modes and filter settings are available - please contact Valeport with your
specific requirements.

7.2.1. Mode C - Continuous

Mode C is the default setting for Hyperion.
In this mode the instrument will be set into a continuous out put cycle of appropriately meaned and
filtered data.
Mode C02 (C zero 2) will output a reading every 2 seconds. This is the maximum synchronous
observation measurement period.
Mode C04 (C zero 4) will output a reading every 4 seconds but that will be a mean of 2, 2 second
synchronous observation measurement periods.

7.2.2. Mode M - Continuous Measurement

Mode M will perform a measurement and data output at the rate specified up to 32Hz.
Filter settings are appropriately set for the update rate.
M1 performs continuous measurements at 1Hz
M2 performs continuous measurements at 2Hz
...
M32 performs continuous measurements at 32Hz
The filter time can be adjusted by using the #222;x command but must be followed by #028 to start
the instrument off again and not an M command because that will reset the filter setting to the
default for that update rate.
