6.3.4 "Operating mode" (*04)
This function is used to specify in which operating mode the Gammapilot M will be used.
!
Note!
The selection can be performed only once and the function is automatically locked after that. It can
only be unlocked again by a reset of the Gammapilot M ("Reset" (*A3) function).
L00-FMG60xxx-05-00-00-xx-009
Possible operating modes of the Gammapilot M: a: stand alone; b: master; c: slave(s); d: end-slave
Options/display:
• stand alone
This option is selected if the Gammapilot M is used as a single device.
• master
This option is selected if the Gammapilot is located at the beginning of a cascading chain. It
receives pulses from a connected slave, adds its own pulses and calculates the measuring value
from this total.
• slave
This option is selected if the Gammapilot M is located in the middle of a cascading chain. It
receives the pulses from an additional connected slave or end-slave, adds its own pulses and
transmits this total to the next device (master or slave).
After selecting this option, the basic setup is finished. When cascading several transmitters the
further calibration is performed on the master only.
• end slave
This option is selected if the Gammapilot M is located at the end of a cascading chain. It does not
receive pulses from another device but transmits its own pulses to the next device (master or
slave).
After selecting this option, the basic setup is finished. When cascading several transmitters the
further calibration is performed on the master only.
• not defined
is displayed if no operating mode has been selected yet. In order to continue the basic setup, a
selection is necessary.
!
Note!
If a "slave" or an "end-slave" are connected to the "ToF Tool - FieldTool Package/FieldCare", the
pulse rate of this device is displayed in the header instead of the measured value.
