Simultaneous
mode
Supports simultaneous sensor operation,
enabling the highest possible sampling rates.
Please note that using Tower Evo with 8
distance sensors in simultaneous mode can
result in sensor crosstalk. When using a Tower
Evo with 4 sensors and a 90 degree angle
between each, crosstalk is highly unlikely to
occur.cross-talk.

IMPORTANT: Sequential mode is set as the default mode. When powering and
connecting Tower Evo to a host computer for the first time, please activate Tower
mode by sending a corresponding command (00 31 03 E5) via terminal emulation
software.
Tower Evo firmware saves the last operating mode used and auto-selects that mode the
next time the system is powered up. Therefore there is no need change the operating mode,
until a different mode is required.
5.4 Output-rate modes
Tower Evo provides the option to modify the measurement sampling rates of the connected
sensors. Users can select between six output-rate modes. ASAP, meaning ‘as soon as
possible’ is, by definition, a variable rate and is dependent on how quickly the Hub receives
an update from the last sensor in the chain. The other rates are fixed at 50Hz, 100Hz,
250Hz, 500Hz, 600Hz.
The output rates can be selected using the following Hex commands:
