Loading Settings from Configuration
File

To facilitate the configuration of WMT700, all settings can be
configured at once using configuration files. You can send a text
file containing the configuration settings to the sensor with a
terminal program, such as Tera Term or Windows

®

HyperTerminal.

For a list of the parameters and their allowed and default values,
see Appendix D, Configuration Parameters, on page 205.

To change the parameters over the RS-485, RS-422, or RS-232
interface:

1.

Use the G command to fetch the current WMT700
parameters.

2.

Disable error messages with the following command:

S messages,0

3.

Copy the values from the terminal program to a file.
Remove the parameters you do not want to change. Also
remove the parameter “messages” to avoid switching
messaging on during the transfer.

4.

Clear the error counters with the following command:

CLEARERR

5.

Send the file to WMT700 to change the settings.

6.

To verify that the parameters are set correctly (the values
are in the allowed range and all parameters are valid), read
the error counters with the following command:

ERRORS

If all values are valid, WMT700 sends the following
response:

0,0,0,0

You can also use the G command to check that the
parameters are set correctly.

If the response for parameter setting is not disabled (as instructed
in step 3) but the messages parameter is set to 1 instead, WMT700
responds to each S command confirming the new parameter
values. If an error occurs during the configuration, WMT700
sends a response containing the error messages.
