Transducer Block Parameter List
Read/Write Capability: RO - Read Only, RW - Read Write
Mode: The block mode(s) required to write to the parameter
Protection Category: Indicates whether or not the parameter is writable while the PROTECTION parameter
is set to a particular level.
-N/A indicates a read‐only parameter that is never writable, regardless of the value of the PROTECTION parameter
-NONE indicates a read‐only parameter that is always writable, regardless of the value of the PROTECTION parameter
-CAL indicates a parameter that is only writable while the value of the PROTECTION parameter is “NONE”.
-SETUP indicates a parameter that is only writable while the value of the PROTECTION parameter is “NONE” or “CAL”.
-ALL indicates a parameter that is writable while the value of the PROTECTION parameter is “NONE”, “CAL”, or “SETUP & CAL”.
