Command line interface
Thus, for example:
•
0 1
CONTINUOUS
will output the
Z
component only (1) at the first tap;
•
0 2
CONTINUOUS
will output the
N
component only (2);
•
0 4
CONTINUOUS
will output the
E
component only (4);
•
0 7
CONTINUOUS
will output all three components (1+2+4 = 7);
•
0 12
CONTINUOUS
will output the
E
component and the auxiliary component
(4 + 8 = 12);
•
0 0
CONTINUOUS
will output nothing at the first tap.
6.6.3 SET-TAPS
Syntax:
tap-0
tap-1
tap-2
tap-3
SET-TAPS
This is an alternative to the
CONTINUOUS
command, which allows you to set the
outputs for all taps simultaneously.
tap-0
to
tap-3
are integers below 16, whose binary bits represent the
Z
(1),
N
(2),
E
(4) and auxiliary (8) components respectively. Each one sets which components are
output at that tap under normal conditions.
For example, if you issue
9 7 0 15
SET-TAPS
then
•
tap 1 will output
Z
and the auxiliary component ( 1 + 8 = 9 );
•
tap 2 will output all three directional components ( 1 + 2 + 4 = 7 );
•
tap 3 will not output anything; and
•
tap 4 will output all four components ( 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15).
To set triggered output streams, you should use the
TRIGGERED
command detailed
below.
6.6.4 COMPRESSION
Syntax:
bits
size
COMPRESSION
or
NORMAL COMPRESSION
Sets the maximum amount of compression to use. Greater compression means the
digitiser packages data more efficiently, so more can be transmitted over a link with
a bandwidth restriction. Compressing streams increases data latency because more
samples are fitted into each packet.
