Parameter Object
(Class ID 0F
H
)
The Parameter Object provides the interface to the XM-320 configuration
data. There are 15 Parameter Object instances implemented in the XM-320
module.
Parameter Object instances 1-4 and 6-15 are implemented to provide an
alternate method of setting the configuration parameters with EPATH or
ENGUNIT data types.
Instance 5 of the Parameter Object is for setting the device "Mode." The
Mode setting determines how the two position sensors are used:
• Normal - The two sensors are used independently to perform two
separate position measurements.
• Head-to-Head - The two sensors are used together, facing each other
on either side of the target, to perform a single position measurement.
This mode can be used to extend upon the range of a single sensor.
• Radial Cancel - The two sensors are used together to perform a single
position measurement. The second sensor is setup in such a way that it
can measure the radial movement of the target. The radial movement
can then be subtracted out of the position measurement performed by
the first sensor.
