APPENDIX C

PA11A EMULATION MODE

This appendix describes the PA11A emulation mode of the PTB330
series.

The PTB330 series digital barometers have an emulation mode that
allows them to partially emulate the PA11A barometer. In the
emulation mode, the PTB330 series can automatically output PA11A
type of messages.

The PA11A emulation mode requires a PTB330 that is equipped with
three barometer modules.

Activating the PA11A Emulation Mode

To activate the emulation mode, use the command SMODE PA11A
on the serial line to set the start mode of the transmitter to PA11A.
Then reset the transmitter with the RESET command:

>smode pa11a
Start mode : PA11A
>reset

After start-up, the barometer outputs messages in the PA11A format.
You can start the automatic message output with the command R, and
stop it with the command S. Use the SEND command to output a
single measurement message.

To disable the emulation mode, set a different mode using the
SMODE command (for example SMODE STOP), and reset the
transmitter.
