14.5 Sensor Setup
14.5.1 General Settings
U=C sets the physical unit for the temperature value (C or F). In case of a changed physical unit
all temperature related parameters (e.g., thresholds) are converted automatically.
E=0.950 sets the emissivity according to the setting of “ES” command, see section 14.5.2 Emissivity
Setting, page 122.
A=250 sets the ambient background temperature compensation according to the setting of “AC”
command, see section 14.5.3 Background Temperature Compensation, page 122.
XG=1.000 sets the transmission
?T asks for the target temperature
?I asks for the internal temperature of the sensor
?Q asks for the energy value of the target temperature
14.5.2 Emissivity Setting
The emissivity setting is selected by means of the “ES” command.
ES=I sets emissivity by a constant number
ES=E sets the emissivity by the value taken from the analog input. For more information see
section 5.6.2.1 Emissivity/Slope Setting, page 37.
?E asks for the current emissivity value
14.5.3 Background Temperature Compensation
In case the background temperature is not represented by the internal sensor case temperature, you must set
the ambient background temperature values as follows:
A=250.0 current background temperature according to the setting of “AC” command
AC=0 no compensation (internal sensor case temperature equal to background temperature)
AC=1 compensation with a constant temperature value set with command “A”
AC=2 background temperatue compensation with the value taken from the analog input. For more
information see section 5.6.2.2 Background Temperature Compensation, page 38.
Resulting temperature is read out by command “A”.
14.5.4 Multiplex Mode for the Analog Input
In combination with the trigger input, the analog input can be multiplexed either to set the emissivity value or the
temperature value for the background temperature compensation. For doing so, follow the steps below:
XTC=1 activates the multiplex mode for the analog input
ES=E sets the emissivity by the value taken from the analog input
AC=2 background temperatue compensation with the value taken from the analog input
