▶ Click "Configuration" to modify the sensor parameters
- Data rate
- Offset or Tare the measurements
- Include/exclude IMU data
- Enable temperature coefficients
▶ Click "Communication" to modify the sensor Interface to:
- USB only
- Serial (UART/RS485)
- CAN
USB cannot be disabled only muted. By selecting Bota Quiet on the banner on the right
CAN, UART and RS485 is accessible via the sensor Solder pads
