Data Sheet

In general, installing TransducerM in a place keeping away as much as possible the magnetic interference and strong vibration

allows it to provide better performance. However, this is not a strict requirement if it is not possible to do so. For example, if

the TransducerM cannot avoid installing close to a motor (such as in a robot arm, or quad-copter). Select the most relevant

software configuration profile (only for TransducerM TM200 series) as illustrated in section 'Step 1 – Restore Default Setting'

on page 10 to allow the TransducerM compensate for the disturbance.

Power On

Once 5V and GND are correctly connected to a power supply, the module is powered on.

If ‘Boot mode’ is set to ‘Static Mode’, please keep the module stationary for at least 15 seconds during and after

power on. This is essential for the module to initialize and find the earth frame.

This also apples when the ‘Boot mode’ is set to ‘Auto mode’ and the module detects a nearly static environment

shortly after power on. For more information, please refer to section “Boot Mode”.

For users of TransducerM TM100 PCBA Module:

The orange LED flashing indicates that the device is initializing and is not ready for normal output. After the

orange LED has turned off and the green LED starts flashing, the module is then ready to output through its

physical port.

Finding Your Device

If you’ve closed the GUI, reopen it, then connect TransducerM to your PC. The GUI is designed to automatically detect any

TransducerM attached to system’s serial ports. The GUI should now look as seen in figure below:

If software does not open the port on its own, simply reconnect the TransducerM; or by choosing the correct COM port, and

then click ‘Connect’ button found underneath the COM port name.
