Basic Programming 5-1
September 2007
Introduction The XMO2 transmitter contains an interactive User Program that
allows the user to customize the XMO2 for any application, perform
calibrations, and change operating parameters as necessary. Using the
built-in RS232 digital output, the User Program is accessed on a
computer terminal. With appropriate passcodes, three different menus
are available:
Note: A different passcode is required for each of the three menus.
• Basic Menu - used to perform a quick calibration
• General Menu - provides error diagnostics and factory calibration
data
• Advanced Menu - offers problem-solving functions to repair the
errors diagnosed in the General Menu
Data entered into the XMO2 User Program by the user overrides any
previously entered data, and is retained in memory for several years,
even if power to the XMO2 is interrupted.
This chapter provides information on programming the Basic Menu.
The following specific topics are discussed:
• establish the serial communications link
• programming keystrokes
• menu navigation
• entering the Basic Menu
• Basic Menu options
Note: Although the next section describes an RS232 connection to a
personal computer, the XMO2 may be programmed via other
GE Sensing devices such as the TMO2D, XDP, etc. If you are
using one of these display/controllers, see its User’s Manual
for further instructions.
