CHAPTer 5 o SENSOR SETTINGS
Measurement Units –
Allows you to choose between English and metric
measurements. Metric units are entered in decimeters so that the metric
and English units can be converted more accurately.
RF Channel –
This allows you to assign specic RF channels to sensors
that are installed in close proximity to each other to prevent the sensors
from interfering with each other.
Communication Tab
The Communication tab allow you to change the following seings (see Figure
5.3):

Baud Rates –
Allows you to set the baud rate for the each of the sensor’s
four connection ports. To change the baud rate, simply click on the drop-
down menu and select the desired rate. Besides the standard RS-232 and
RS-485 ports, there are also two other expansion ports. These expansion
ports are currently not available for use.
Response Delays (milliseconds) –
Allows you to change the number of
milliseconds that the sensor will delay before responding. This is useful if
you ever aach the sensor to communication equipment that cannot handle
the speed with which the sensor responds to message requests. You can
change the response delay for each of the four connection ports separately
by entering the desired number of milliseconds. If you are not able to
determine the amount of delay required by consulting the communication
equipment’s documentation, you will need to determine this number by
trial and error.
