Displacement Sensor Topic: Error When a Command Was Sent

 

FAQ No. FAQ03215

 

Question

 

When a command was sent using Z300 Displacement/Measuring Sensor serial communications output, an error was returned. Why is this?

 


Answer

Because an error was returned, it is likely that the serial communications specifications were set up correctly. It could be that the command format was not input correctly.

For example, to obtain the latest measurement outcome of OUT1 with MEASURE (or M), the input must be as follows:

M1 delimiter

Where there is a space between "M" and "1".
The output will be 111.1111 delimiter.
The command must be entered in ASCII.
Spaces must be entered between the items but not in front of the delimiter.


Another command format example is shown.

Input: JUDPARA 0 10.0000-10.0000 delimiter


(This command changes the OUT0 upper limit to 10.0000, and the lower limit to −10.0000.)

"OK delimiter" is returned when the command is normally executed.
"ER delimiter" is returned when the command is not normally executed.
