Revision A (Sep 2007)

Method 2

1) Start HyperTerminal (or any other terminal program) and set to 19200,

7, N, 2 (or the baud rate you want to use later). HyperTerminal is
installed with Windows 2000/XP, and can be found in Start
Menu Programs Accessories Communications

2) Cycle the gauge power.

3) Hit the Enter key 3 times, or transmit three

Carriage Returns (hex 0x0d).

4) Use the "Z" command to verify gauge is

communicating.

5) Use the "J" command to set the RS-232

baud rate or the "@" command to set the
RS-422 baud rate.

6) Reconfigure HyperTerminal to the new

baud rate if different from that in step 1.

Communication Protocol

This section lists the commands used to configure the LS8000-3, and to read
measurement data. Throughout this section, <CR> is used to denote a
carriage return, and <LF> is used to indicate a linefeed.

Notation

Description

<CR>

Carriage Return character

ASCII Value: 13

<LF>

Linefeed character

ASCII Value: 10

<N>

Integer Value (variable length)

Indicates an integer value with length from 1 to 9 characters. When sending
a command to set a configuration setting, the transmitted value can contain
leading zeros, but they are not required. When reading a configuration
setting, the LS8000-3 will not transmit leading zeros in its response.

Example Notation: L<N><CR>

Example Command: L100000<CR>

<IP>

IP Address

Example Notation: *IPADDR=<IP><CR>

Example Command: *IPADDR=192.168.10.246
