User guide

If you have not ordered the ceilometer together with BL-View, you may need to change the ceilometer settings before using BL-View to analyze live data from the ceilometer.

For optimum performance, use the recommended settings for the selected ceilometer type.


Setting	Supported Values	Recommended for CL31	Recommended for CL51
Data message	msg1_10x770	msg2_10x770 If the Sky Condition algorithm is disabled: msg1_10x770	msg2_10x1540 If the Sky Condition algorithm is disabled: msg1_10x1540
	msg1_20x385
	msg1_5x1500
	msg1_10x1540
	msg2_10x770
	msg2_20x385
	msg2_5x1500
	msg2_10x1540
Message interval	2 … 75 seconds	16 seconds	36 seconds

Open the connection to the ceilometer.

See Opening Terminal Connection.
Open the communication port to the ceilometer.

See Opening and Closing Communication Port.
To set advanced level commands, type:
```
advanced
```

To set the message format, type:

set message type <message format>

For example, for CL31
```
set message type msg2_10x770
```
For example, for CL51:
```
set message type msg2_10x1540
```

To set the message interval, type:
- For CL31:
```
set message interval 16
```
- For CL51:
```
set message interval 36
```
To enable the range gate normalization, type:
```
set message profile noise_h2 on
```
The range gate data is always range-normalized, including the noise.
To get the factory parameters of CL31, type:
```
get params factory
```
Check the receiver type for CL31 in the response. If the receiver type is CLR321, go to the next step. Otherwise, change the algorithm parameters with the following command:
```
set factory algo_sensit high_cloud 5
```
Close the communication port.

See Opening and Closing Communication Port.
Verify that the output message is correct.
