6.6.1.1
ASCII Parameters (INIt > CoMM > USb, EtHN, SER
> PRot > oMEG)
Select oMEG to configure Omega ASCII mode communications parameters. These
configuration settings are the same for USB, Ethernet, and Serial communications.
Navigate to the desired parameter. Parameters and sub-parameters include the
following:
ModE – Choose the Mode for initiating ASCII data transfer:
o
CMd – Data is sent after receiving a prompt command from the
connected device (factory default).
o
CoNt – Data is sent as it is collected; setting the seconds between
data sends (###.#), default = 001.0. In Continuous Mode, sending a
CTRL/Q to the unit suspends transmission and sending a CTRL/S
restarts transmission.
dAt.F – Data Format; select yES or No for the following settings:
o
StAt – Alarm status bytes are sent with the data
o
RdNG – Sends the process reading
o
PEAk – Sends the highest process reading so far
o
VALy – Sends the lowest process reading so far
o
UNIt – Sends the unit with the value (F, C, V, mV, mA)
_LF_ – Select yES or No; yES sends a line feed between each data block to
format the output in a more readable fashion.
ECHo – Select yES or No; yES echoes each received command to allow
verification.
SEPR – Determines the separation character between each data block:
o
_CR_ – A carriage return sent between data blocks (factory
default).
o
SPCE – A space character is sent between each data block.
Select the indicated option, and manage submenus and parameters as required.
6.6.2
Address (INIt > CoMM > USb, EtHN, SER > AddR)
Select the Address (AddR) parameter.
Set the Address value. The Modbus protocol requires an address field to correctly identify the
selected device. The Omega protocol supports an optional address field which is required for
Serial channels configured for RS485.
Accept the entered value.
