Compatible with all FieldLabs
using firmware 1.126 and above
PC Serial Port Settings
The recommended pc serial port settings are:
Baud – 9600
Parity – N
Data Bits – 8
Stop bit – 1
Flow Control – None
The FieldLab will automatically detect the baud rate of the incoming data. Therefore, no settings need to be defined on the gauge for communications to work properly. Higher baud rates may be used if it is determined by the end user that communications will remain reliable.
Serial Command Summary
The command is followed by a space character, then the parameter. These command/parameters are expected to be followed by either a carriage return (\r or 0x0D) or a line feed (\n or 0x0A) character.

DAMPING - exponential filter based on the data acquisition rate and the time constant specified INTERVAL - During data logging, the interval at which to average readings during the active data logging interval
Other Settings: WINDOW - change in readings greater than this % of range reset filter. Affects the DAMPING filter and the display damping filter. DDAMP – set the display damping filter time constant |

CALCONST - Set calibration constants (Gain1, Offset1, Gain2, Offset2, Inflection Point as defined below). Gains should be close to 1.0 and offsets should be close to 0.0.
CALCONST? - Get calibration constants.
Assume 100psi full scale pressure range:
Gain1 = (50.0-0.0) / (Uncalibrated Reading@50psi - Uncalibrated Reading@0psi)
Offset1= -Gain1 * Uncalibrated Reading@0psi
Gain2 = (100.0-50.0) / (Uncalibrated Reading@100psi - Uncalibrated Reading@50psi)
Offset2= 50.0 - Gain2 * Uncalibrated Reading@50psi
Inflection Point = Counts@50psi

CALDATA? - Returns uncalibrated pressure and temperature readings along with raw counts. Used in calibration and temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. Pressure counts are a signed 32-bit integer. Temperature counts are an unsigned 16-bit integer.

Uncalibrated Pressure = 0.072 psi, Raw Counts = 0x0001731D
Uncalibrated Temperature = 23.5 C, Raw Counts = 0x00F6
CALDATE - Sets the date of calibration.

CALNDUE - Set the date of the next scheduled calibration.

CATALOG? - Returns a list of data sets stored in the unit. It is in CSV format and can be imported into Excel directly. The first row tells how many items are in the catalog (16 max) and the names of the data fields. On the data lines, the 1st number is the catalog index and can be used in place of the name in the DATA? Command. A size of -1 means that that storage is active. Dashes in the date/time mean that that event has not occurred, yet. Notice that the catalog index incremented to the next available one in sequence after the last one was deleted. This is to keep from wearing out the flash sectors where the catalog is stored. A similar method is used for the parts of the flash used for the data buffer.

Binary Xfers (PIC24F is little-endian like Intel)
Manual Mode uses a single IEEE-754 float for each reading. The timestamp of the first reading is the trigger time from the catalog. Add the interval to the timestamp of the previous reading to get the timestamp of the next reading.
An option with Binary transfers only is to request a partial data set by passing the
<start> parameter after BINARY. If a <start> value is passed in, then data returned data is from <start> to the end of the data set. If no <start> parameter is included, then the complete data set is returned.
Ex1: Manual Mode, 100 readings
> data? 9,BINARY
400,{data blob of 100 IEEE-754 floats}
>
Logging Mode has to store the timestamp for each reading since storage can be paused at any time. Month, day, and year are saved. Instead of saving hours, minutes, and seconds, a 24bit tick count is saved. It is the number of ticks since midnight at a 128Hz tick rate. The data structure is as follows:
typedef struct
{
float reading;
unsigned char month;
unsigned char day;
unsigned char year;
unsigned char ticks_msb;
unsigned short ticks;
} data_logging_buffer_entry_st;
Ex2: Logging Mode, 100 readings
> data? 9,BINARY
1000,{data blob of 100 data_logging_buffer_entry_st }
>
Calibration Mode has to store the set point, tolerance, and timestamp for each reading since storage points can be manually logged at any time. Month, day, year, hours, minutes, and seconds, are saved. The data structure is as follows:
typedef struct
{
float set_point;
float reading;
float tolerance;
unsigned char month;
unsigned char day;
unsigned char year;
unsigned char hour;
unsigned char min;
unsigned char sec;
} calibration_buffer_entry_st;
Ex3: Calibration Mode, 100 readings
> data? 9,BINARY
1800,{data blob of 100 calibration_buffer_entry_st }
>
PSV Mode uses a single IEEE-754 float for each reading. Up to 5 iterations are stored in a single data set and they are all returned at once concatenated together. Each iteration can contain up to 16896 points. Use the ASCII version to determine the start date/time, trigger time, end time, trigger index, and number of points in each iteration. Reading 1-Trigger Index are done at 7rdg/sec and 220 thereafter. Trigger time and end time are provided to calculate the average time between readings at each rate. Readings are returned in blocks of 64 readings so there may be padded data at the end of a block.
Ex4: PSV Mode, 9366(9408) readings iteration 1, 9566(9600) readings iteration 2 + 10366(10368) readings iteration 3
> data? 9,BINARY
117504,{data blob of 29376 IEEE-754 floats}
>
NOTE: Multichannel modes have an additional 4bytes per channel per reading in BINARY mode. In ASCII mode, they have an extra column per channel. Use DATA? X,CHANNELS to get the number of channels, units, serial number, sensor type, minimum value, and maximum value.
