Product Manual 26 M3 Wireless Ultrasonic Level Sensor
Example of Auto Send messages saved to an Excel file
13.11 AutoSend Monitor Menu
This menu will allow you to record
Command 1 messages sent by the sensor
when the sensor is programmed with a non-
zero Deep Sleep Timer value and the
Outgoing Message Mode register is 1, 2 or 3.
The data will be saved as an Excel file with a
“csv” extension. As you can see in the
example below, the first column is the date
and time stamp when the message was
received, the 2
nd
column is the MAC address
of the sensor, the 3
rd
column is the Event # of
the data captured, the 4
th
and 5
th
columns are
the Status bytes, the 6
th
column is the capture
range to target in inches, the 7
th
column is the
temperature in degrees Centigrade, and the
8
th
column is the sensor’s battery voltage.
A Command 1 message will only send a
maximum of 8 events of the most recent
captured events. Range reported as 510” or
greater is an indicator for a cleared record as
defined in section 8.2.1.2 where the
RangeMSB byte will be 255. In the example
below, the real record starts at Event #1 and
not at Event #869 due to the range being
510”.
To activate saving Autosend messages to a
file, click on the “Enable Data Receiver and
Save Data to File” box. You may select “Save Most Recent Record Only” to save the last record from the message or “Save All
Data” to save all 8 records from the message.
To gain control of sensors after say a weekend test, use the Deep Sleep Control options to clear the Deep Sleep timer when the
sensors wake up after a specified time period (Edit Date and Time box). This will keep the sensor awake allowing access of other
sensor features such as obtaining an ultrasonic waveform. This feature is useful when the sensors are being evaluated at a difficult
location to access.
