54 INSTRUMENT SETUP

To Configure COM1 or COM2 Format:

(2 or 6 key from the

Communications

menu):

1. After completing steps 1 through 4 from the basic entry procedure, edit

the configuration. Both the COM1 FORMAT and COM2 FORMAT
selections are similar and therefore are described together. The

COM

Format Selection

menu displays two lines each containing several

choices (

Figure 44

).

2. Select the OUTPUT FORMAT using the pointer. Place the pointer in

front of the correct line with the

Up/Down Arrow

keys.

3. Edit the line by using the

Left/Right Arrow

keys to cycle through six

variations. Select the appropriate format from the following six choices:
– PRN20 - Standard 20 column printer output.
– PRN80 - Standard 80 column printer output.
– TST20 - 20 column test output of printer parameters.
– PRN81 - Standard 80 column printer output (2 lines).
– CSV01 - Comma separated variables.
– PRN21 - Special 20 column printer output. PRN 20 format with the

Grain Calibration Date Code, Instrument Serial Number and
D-values removed.

4. Select the LINE TERMINATOR with the pointer. An RS-232 line of

input data must be terminated with one of the following characters or
character pairs.
– LF (Line Feed) 0A Hex
– CR (Carriage Return) 0D Hex
– LF + CR 0A, 0D Hex
– CR + LF 0D, 0A Hex

5. After editing is complete, select the

Previous Page

key to return to the

Communications

menu for the next selection.
