NEXT MENU

$PCDIC,N

Real-time data
The
$PCDIC,G
command is used to view real-time instrumentation from the serial port.
When the unit is first powered up it will start listening to the default serial port (RS232 or
Bluetooth) for commands. It will not dump data until it receives the
$PCDIC,G
command.
To view real-time data type this command in HyperTerminal after you see the prompt. Data
for each of the sensors will immediately begin to be displayed in NMEA 0183 $IIXDR
sentence format. The unit will dump data for all 8 sensors every 0.5 seconds.
HyperTerminal allows capture of real-time data to a text file. First enable the Capture Text
command under the Transfer menu. Select the file name and location to capture to. Next
enter the
$PCDIC,G
command string to start dumping data to the specified file.
Program Mode
The
$PCDIC,P
command is used to put the unit into reprogramming mode. Once in this
mode a programming file can be sent to the unit to update Lookup Tables, Sensor labels,
Display Groups, Label positions, or channel assignments.
Use caution when using this command as improper use will erase the unit and it will
have to be sent back for reprogramming.
Programming files can be obtained from Chetco Digital Instruments for use in this mode.
These are in a special propriety format and can not be constructed or edited in the field.
Contact Chetco Digital Instruments for more information on this option.
