*Caution: Unit value depends on the Output Format (OF command) in effect when the AO was configured. If OF is changed
after the AO setup, all channels are reset and must be re-entered. Ensure you set OF before setting up the AO channels.
• Examples of command syntax:
SAO
Returns AO settings for all Argonaut channels (1 through 8) in a column format. Example:
Chan Parameter MinVal MaxVal Unit(*see above Caution)
1 VelMag 0 20 ft/s
2 VelX -4 4 ft/s
3 VelY -4 4 ft/s

SAO Chan OutParam MinVal MaxVal
Configures the selected channel (Chan) of the Argonaut to send OutParam to the
Converter’s address (Chan) with the specified minimum and maximum values. The
following example tells Argonaut channel 3 to send the Y-velocity component to the
Converter whose address is 3 and to limit the scaling range to ±400 cm/s (or ft/s).
SAO 3 VelY –400 400
SAO Chan RESET
Clears the selected channel. The following example would clear all entries made for
channel 3 of the Argonaut.
