The command string to set the sampling parameters is as follows:
#003;mode;rate;period;interval;average;length where:
Enter CONT, SINGLE or BURST as required
Enter 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 as the required sampling rate in Hz. Note that this value must be
included in the string for SINGLE mode, even though it is not used.
This value defines the Burst sampling mode, but must be entered for the other modes
even though it is not used. Enter the number of samples that should be taken in the Burst,
from 1 to 65535
This value defines the Burst sampling mode, but must be entered for the other modes
even though it is not used. Enter the number of seconds between the start of each
measurement burst, from 1 to 65535
This parameter defines the Burst sampling mode, but must be entered for the other modes
even though it is not used. Enter FIXED, MOVING or NONE as required. Fixed averaging
means that a single average number of all the readings in the burst will be output.
Moving average is a sliding window of defined duration, averaging several data points
within the burst, and updating with each single reading. None means that no averaging
should be done, with each data point in the burst being output as it is measured.
Defines the number of samples in the “sliding window” of the Moving Average. Enter a
value from 1 to 120. Note that this value is part of the definition of Burst mode, but must
also be entered for the other modes, even though it is not used.
Examples:
1: Continuous data output at 4Hz
#003;CONT;4;1;1;NONE;1
Note: that the characters shown in italics must be included, even though they are not part of the definition of
Continuous mode. It does not matter what values are used here, provided they fit within the general constraints
defined above (1 to 65535 etc).
2: Data on demand
#003;SINGLE;1;1;1;NONE;1
Note: that the characters shown in italics must be included, even though they are not part of the definition of this
mode. It does not matter what values are used, as long as they fit within the general constraints for each term
defined above (1 to 65535 etc).
3: Burst Mode, 80 readings over 5 secs, once per minute. Output average value only
#003;BURST;16;80;60;FIXED;1
Note: that the last value (shown in italics) must be included, even though it is not part of the definition of Fixed
Averaging. It does not matter what values is used here, provided it fits within the general constraints defined above
(1 to 120 etc.).
