5.5.9
Status of Event or Deviation
Use the SA command to determine the status of these functions. If
you have configured the Model 1095A/C for event mode, send “SA" to
return the read (R) and write (S) pointers. This tells you the current
state of reading and writing in the event buffer. For example, typing “SA"
returned the following response.
E R=004 S=026
This message tells you that (1) the Model 1095A/C is set for Event
recording, (2) the current “read" pointer is at event record 004 (when
using the EV command), and (3) that the “write" pointer indicates 26
records written to the event buffer.
5.5.10
Clearing Event Records
To clear the event buffer using the 1095 Utility, click the “X" icon or select
Unit
>
Clear Events. Alternatively, use a terminal program connected to
COM1 or COM2 (see below). “Clearing" means to completely remove
all 300 records at one time. New events may be overwritten only if you
view them sequentially, counting from Event 001. For information on
clearing the event buffer, see Section 4.2.3 and 8.4.3.
Viewing individual event data marks them as available to be overwrit-
ten. For example, if you look at records 1 - 10, and events are occurring
while viewing these records, they will be overwritten. Assuming the
event buffer is full, and you are viewing data from records 15 – 20, events
will not be overwritten until you also view records 1 – 14.
Clearing Events using a Terminal Emulation Program
Type or send “0,123EV" to immediately clear all events stored in the
event buffer. See Section 8.4.3.
