Using the Handheld Infrared Thermometer 2
2.3.13 PC Interface Commands
You can communicate directly from the PC to the infrared thermometer. Here are the Comm port settings and communication commands from the PC:
Baud rate: 9600
Data: 8 Bits
One Stop Bit
No Parity
All the PC commands to the infrared thermometer are case sensitive and terminates with a carriage return (CR). You can change parameter settings from the PC when data transmission is stopped.
Command | Description |
(ASCII) |
|
|
|
IR | Get the current infrared temperature from the thermometer |
|
|
T | Start sending Data stings from the thermometer to the PC |
|
|
P | Stop sending data to the PC |
|
|
S | Reset Min, Max, Diff, Avg temperature values on the thermometer |
|
|
F1 or F0 | F1 = Set Engineering unit to °F , F0 = Set Engineering unit to °C |
|
|
E95 | Set Emissivity to 0.95 (Thermometer sends “E:95” back as |
| confirmation) |
|
|
H500 | Set High Alarm set point (HAL) to 500 (It sends “HAL:500” back as |
| confirmation) |
|
|
L20 | Set Low Alarm set point (LAL) to 20 (It sends “LAL:20” back as |
| confirmation) |
|
|
A125 | Set Target ambient temp (AMB) to 125(It sends “AMB:125” back as |
| confirmation) |
|
|
t | Get the data transmission interval (PRN) from thermometer |
|
|
t5 | Set data transmission interval (PRN) to 5 seconds. Thermometer sends |
| back “PRN:5” as confirmation. |
|
|
p | Get the data transmission flag from the thermometer. |
| PRNF:0 means no data transmission (PRN is disabled) |
| PRNF:1 means data transmission (PRN is enabled) |
|
|
D0 | Start to download stored data from IR thermometer memory |
|
|
De | Erase the data from the IR thermometer memory |
|
|
Here is a typical data strings from the infrared thermometer to the PC when the “T” command is activated:
OS534; E:95; MAX:78; MIN:65; DIF:13; AVG:72; DIS:1144; HAL:900; TC:74; TEF:0;
LAL:20; AMB:125; PRN:5; PRNF:1; IR:73; CF:0; FF:1; LF: 0:
