The “Header” and the “Command name” byte values remain always the same: 00 52 03,
despite the amount of sensors used in an application!
The following 3 steps provide guidelines on how to calculate the remaining “Sensor Mask”
and “CRC” byte values:
1. Calculate the binary byte of operating sensors
Figure 22. Calculating the Binary Byte value
The binary byte consists of 8 values, that represent operating (1) and non-operating (0)
sensors. In Figure 22, sensors 8, 7, 5, 2, 1 are operating and 6, 4, 3 are non-operating,
which means that the binary byte value (Status) is 11010011.
Figure 23. Calculating the Binary Byte value (4 sensors used)
Note: In cases when only the operating sensors will be connected to the TeraRanger
Multiflex Hub, the non-operating sensor binary status is not required (Figure 23).
2. Convert binary byte value to a hexadecimal mask byte value
For this, please use the Binary to Hexadecimal converter and find out the mask byte value.
After conversion the mask byte value is D3. Now the command should consist of 4
determined bytes: 00 52 03 D3.
