K=3  alarm output triggered by target temperature and internal sensor temperature, N.C. 
normally closed 
K=4  alarm output triggered by internal sensor temperature, N.O. normally open 
K=5  alarm output triggered by internal sensor temperature, N.C. normally closed 
K=6  alarm output triggered by target temperature, N.O. normally open 
K=7  alarm output triggered by target temperature, N.C. normally closed 
XS=125.3  sets the alarm threshold to 125.3 in current scale. The alarm threshold is used for the 
target  temperature  only  (see  command  XS).  If  the  internal  sensor  temperature  is 
selected as the trigger source (K=4, K=5), use the command <DA> for defining the 
alarm threshold. 
10.9.3 External Input 
The external input is shared by several functions, see section 7.4.3 External Input, page 44. The following 
commands will change the input type automatically: 
P=300, F=300  external input as trigger, resets the (advanced) Peak/Valley Hold function 
ES=E  external input as voltage input (0 V – 5 V) for setting the emissivity 
AC=2  external input as voltage input (0 V – 5 V) for setting the ambient temperature 
XL=T  external input for On/Off switching of the laser 
One of the basic rules for the used protocol here does forbid cross dependencies between commands. 
So the user has to take care not to use two functions the same time. Using more than one function will 
not destroy the device electrically but may result in malfunction. 
?XT  gives the actual trigger state 
?TV  gives the measured input voltage 
10.9.4 Lock Mode 
The access to the sensor is possible via serial interface or via direct user input on the control panel. With 
a  command  it  is  possible  to  lock  the  mode buttons.  This allows  access  to the  sensor  only  via  serial 
interface. 
J=L  direct user input via mode buttons on control panel denied
