<N>
is an integer either 0 or 1 indicating the Velocity at Loss of Material setting.
This setting can be used to force the measured Velocity and QF to 0 if Material Present is in
the "Material Not Present" state. This can be used, for example, to force the pulse outputs to
stop counting in some situations.
By default, the LS8000 Velocity and Quality Factor outputs are not affected by Material
Present.
Value Description
0
(default)
Hold Last Reading
Velocity and Quality Factor are not affected by Material
Present state. The gauge will continue to measure if
possible, and will output the measured velocity. If
measurements are lost, and the last velocity was above
the Hold Velocity if Above setting, then the velocity output
will be held at this value.
1 Zero
Velocity and Quality Factory are both forced to zero when
in the "Material Not Present" state, regardless of whether
measurements are being made.
H
Hour Meter Current Value
H<CR>
Read Only Command
Response Format:
<N>
This command returns the total number hours that the gauge has been running.
I
Current & Max Temperature
I<CR>
Read Only Command
Response Format: <N>,<N>
This command returns both the current internal temperature, and the maximum temperature
that has been recorded. Both temperatures are in Celsius. The values returned from the
LS8000-3 must be divided by 100 to get the temperature.
The normal temperature rise from ambient to internal is 10-15ºC.
