<CR> = Carriage return character. A <LF>
<LF> <LF>
<LF> line feed character may be appended but is ignored.
Remote S is like Remote A but is not addressable. The absence of addressing makes Remote S
faster than Remote A but limits it to point-to-point connections. The received value is stored
where it may be selected for Alarm comparisons. If a Coded Alarm character is included, it
overrides the internal alarm comparisons. The received ASCII text strings must be in a format
like
SDDDDDD.A<CR> .
S = Optional sign of value. Use space or + for positive, - for negative.
D = Digits from 0 to 9. There can be 1 to 6 digits.
. = Optional decimal point. Can be anywhere between or after D D D D digits.
A = Optional Alarm Character which overrides internal comparisons. A = no alarms, B = alarm
1 active, C = alarm 2 active, D = alarms 1 & 2 active.
<CR>
= Carriage return character. A <LF> <LF> <LF> <LF> line feed character may be appended but is ignored.
Remote 1-4 allow multiple value to be extracted from Laureate transmissions. Data sequences
with up to three data values can be generated by Laureate digital panel meters and transmitters
(current reading, Peak, Valley). Data sequences with up to four data values can be generated by
Laureate counters (Items 1, 2, 3, Peak). Please refer to our DPM and counter manuals.
•
Remote 1 = 1st value of value sequence SDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DD<CR>
•
Remote 2 = 2nd value of value sequence SDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DD<CR>
•
Remote 3 = 3rd value of value sequence SDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DD<CR>
•
Remote 4 = 4th value of value sequence SDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DDSDDDD.DD<CR>
Remote C is used to extract data from ASCII strings that contains numeric data values
surrounded by ASCII characters that may be printing or non-printing. It can accommodate
selected Start and Stop characters. Any number of characters after the start character can be
masked off up to the beginning of the desired data. From 1 to 6 numeric characters can be
selected for the data, or up to 8 characters if a sign and decimal point are included. The
received ASCII text strings must be in the format
STXXXSDDDDDD.SP
ST = Start character. This can be any ASCII character in the received string. It must be at a
fixed number of characters from the beginning of the desired data, which must have a
fixed number of characters. Enter 00 if no start character is available. The stop charac-
ter then becomes the start character.
XXX = Data to be ignored (Skip No.). Number of characters following the Start character to be
ignored.
S = Optional sign of value. Use space or + for positive, - for negative.
D = Digits from 0 to 9. There can be 1 to 6 digits.
. = Optional decimal point. Can be anywhere between or after D D D D digits.
SP = Stop character. Set to 00 if no stop character is available. Note: Only either the start or
stop character can be set to 00. The start and stop characters cannot be any character
included in the data string.
