TX320 Transmitter 

 

The order data appears in each transmission can be controlled.  
Only whole records are copied from the datalogger to the 
TX320.  Each record is copied in the same order it appears in the 
datalogger memory.  The order of data records, oldest to newest 
or newest to oldest, can be controlled.  To arrange data records 
oldest to newest, execute the GoesData instruction when data is 
written to the data table.  To arrange data newest to oldest, 
execute the GoesData instruction once per timed transmission.  
Either method works best when the table option is set to zero.  

NOTE 

5.1.1.6  GOESData() Example 

' GOESData() Example
