Page 15: Preset/Direction And Teach-In Mode
TILTIX INCLINOMETER WITH ANALOG & RS232 INTERFACE 4.3.5 Preset/Direction and Teach-in Mode Preset/ Direction Mode (teach 0) The Preset/Direction mode is the default mode in which the ACS operates. In this mode the user can set the origin of measurement (0° Reference Angle) at the current point and can also change the direction of measurement. - Page 16 TILTIX INCLINOMETER WITH ANALOG & RS232 INTERFACE Teach-In mode (teach 1) This is the mode used for scaling the ACS output as per the users’ requirement. The user can set the range of measurement and the ACS analog output is scaled accordingly. The range of measurement is defined to lie within the origin and maximum angle positions, which then corresponds to the analog output scaling.
