The Digital Output pressure sensors are based upon a proprietary surface mapping technology to produce a fully digital
output that virtually eliminates all repeatable errors over temperature and pressure. This series provides a 12 bit digital
serial output (14 bit in High Resolution Mode) with superior offset, span and linearity characteristics. The output is SPI and
MICROWIRE/PLUS
®
compatible as well as fully compatible with the All Sensors GA142 Series sensors.
In addition to synchronous communications, the Digital Output pressure sensors incorporates a bi-directional, TTL level,
asynchronous serial interfaces mode (hardware selectable 9,600 or 19,200 baud). This mode includes a command set that
allows the host to interrogate the sensor for model information, pressure range, serial number, pressure units and
conversion factor. The command set also allows the host to select a high resolution output mode, make minor adjustments
to offset and has an addressable feature that alows multiple sensors to be tied to the same interface buss.
This series is intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic working fluids such as air, dry gases and the like. All signals
are 5V TTL/CMOS compatible.

Typical Configurations
Synchronous Communications
Typical synchronous communications
configuration (compatible with All
Sensors GA142 Series Digital Output
Sensors).
Asynchronous Communications
Typical asynchronous communications
configuration. The Mode pin is
interrogated at power up and if tied
low, will cause the sensor to enter
asynchronous communications mode.
This mode supports multiple sensors by
addressable commands. The Convert/
BR pin then serves to select one of two
available baud rates.

ascii Space Character
Part accuracy string. Given in % full scale output.
Example: 0.250 %FSO
Notes:
1.) There is a space between the numeric accuracy “0.250”
and units “%FSO.”
2.) FSO stands for Full Scale Output (full scale output is
determined by the Pressure Range String.)
This is a four character ascii string representing a
hexidecimal value.
Example: 3F7C
Represents an output count of 16,252
Note: the output is forced to “8000” upon an error.
except error bit 8, see error bit codes.
This is a four character ascii string representing a

Example: 1D58
Represents an output count of 7,512
Note: the output is forced to “8000” upon an error.
except error bit 8, see error bit codes.
Part Model as given in the data sheet (also order number.)
The general model syntax is
[Full Scale Pressure]<sp>[Pressure Units]-[Pressure Model]-DO
Example: 100 PSI-D-DO
Where:
Full Scale Pressure=100
Pressure Units=PSI (inH2O, mbar or mmHg available)
DO represents Digital Output
Notes:
1.) Exception to this syntax is the Barometer.
2.) Custom models may be different.

[Temperature Range String]
Temperature Range String
This is the compensated temperature range of the part.
Syntax: [low limit]<sp>[high limit]<sp>”C”
Example: -20 to 85 C
-40 to 125 C and custom ranges also available.
The error codes are bits packed within a double byte.
The four character string is an ascii hex expression.
The error code bits are:
Bit 0 : Part not factory compensated
Bit 1 : Tdex Overflow
Bit 2 : Tdex Over-range
Bit 3 : Pdex Overflow
Bit 4 : Pdex Over-range
Bit 5 : PWL Overflow
Bit 6 : Scale Overflow
Bit 7 : High Resolution Overflow
Bit 8 : Pressure Output Limited to Specific Value
Bits 9 through 15 : Reserved
Example: 0100
Represents error bit 8 set and the Pressure Output Limited
Notes:
Bit 0 : This should not appear if the part has been calibrated
Bits 1 thru 7 : indicate computational error when compensated
Bit 8: indicates that the pressure applied to the part exceeds the
range of the part and is limit to either the high or low limit
{null}
Null Response
No response from the part. In the event of a serial number
mismatch the part will not respond (to avoid buss contention.)
