Product Manual 21 M3 Wireless Ultrasonic Level Sensor
13.0 M3 Application Software
NOTE: This method of communicating with the sensor using the gateway’s comm port is no longer the preferred method (X4
gateway). Please see Ethernet version manual utilizing the Ethernet connection of the gateway to access the sensor. This
software is used to play back waveforms, see section 13.8.
13.1 Introduction
The M3 Application Software allows access to the M3 Sensor to change settings, obtain the Data History Buffer from previously
acquired data, request for range and status on demand, obtain an ultrasonic waveform for diagnostic or record keeping purposes,
or upgrade new sensor firmware. This software gains access using the PC’s comm. port while setting up the gateway was done
through the PC’s Ethernet connection accessing Digi’s web pages. It is important to note that the M3 Application Software is
strictly used for evaluation purposes to gain access to the sensor’s features. Ultimately, the user will require custom gateway
Python code and software for their specific application. Consult Massa Products for turnkey solution partners.
13.2 Set up
The Digi ConnectPort™ Gateway should be installed at this point. Obtain a copy of the M3 Application Software from
http://www.massa.com. Download the zip file, extract the files, and execute setup.exe. The following section details the menus
that allow you to gain access to the sensor. Power up the gateway and wait approximately 1 minute for it to boot. Note that a
gateway and sensor are both defaulted to PAN ID = 0 from the factory for ZB series and PAN ID 234 for ZNET 2.5 series radios.
This will allow the sensors to join the gateway out of the box.
13.3 Program Settings Menu
This menu can be accessed by the drop down menu item View then
Program Settings. It will allow you to change the comm. port the
gateway is connected to, adjust the Discovery timeout
(recommended 10 seconds min.), enable or disable the search for
sensors when the program starts, and to allow the Deep Sleep Timer
to be disabled when the sensor is found by the gateway. Note1: that
using a USB/RS232 Converter will most likely require the comm.
port to be changed (from COM1). Note2: Checking the Disable
Deep Sleep when a Sensor is Found box may be necessary if the
Awake timer is programmed for a short period. This will prevent
the sensor from going back to sleep so you can gain access to it.
13.4 Search for Sensors Menu
Click on the Search for Sensors menu button to request for searching
for sensors manually if it did not automatically do so when the
application started. Make sure you have the sensor associated with
the gateway (Sensor’s LED brief flash every 2 seconds) for it to be
found.
