ber is "0" (as it usually is in the single-node case). For the precise response
format, see Section 5.a.2. If the "ECHO" status is
OFF , it means that the node-
number "echo" will not appear in any CHN transmission.
To change the "ECHO" status, you can toggle between ON and OFF by press-
ing the top or bottom segment of any display character.
h. When the desired "ECHO" status appears, press ENTER . The unit will display
"STATS" (for "LIMIT-STATUS INDICATION"):
i. To display the current "LIMIT-STATUS INDICATION" status, press ENTER . If
you do not want to display this status, press PRINT again and proceed to Step
k.
j. If the "LIMIT-STATUS INDICATION" is ON , it means that one of three numbers
("-1," "0," or "1") will be included in all responses to a CHANNEL (CHN) com-
mand, indicating the LIMIT ZONE which the "live" data reading currently occu-
pies:
-1 for "LESS THAN ZONE"; 0 for "OK ZONE"; and 1 for "GREATER THAN
ZONE." If the "LIMIT-STATUS INDICATION" status is OFF , it means that limit-
zone indication will not appear in any CHN transmission.
To change the "LIMIT-STATUS INDICATION" status, you can toggle between
ON and OFF by pressing the top or bottom segment of any display character.
k. When the desired "LIMIT-STATUS INDICATION" status appears, press ENTER
to return to the "PRINT" display. Press SETUP to return to the "Setup" display.
Note that there are two mnemonic commands by which you can further format
your data outputs. By means of the
LABEL (LBL) command, you can specify a
string of up to 8 characters to serve as a "HEADER" prefix for each transmission,
while the
ENGINEERING UNIT STRING (EUS) command lets you specify a ter-
minating "TAILER" of up to 8 characters for each transmission. For a full discus-
sion of possible transmission formats, see Section 5.a.2.
