Selecting Custom WITS Codes to Send
After you have set up a custom WITS code, follow the steps below to instruct a Pason
computer to send the code.
1. From the EDR main screen on the RMPC, click
Menu
>
Setup
>
WITS
. The
WITS setup screen opens.
2. On the WITS out tab of the Pason computer you want to send the custom WITS
code, click the
Custom
button.
3. From the Transmission drop-down list, select the transmission type for the
custom WITS group.
4. Click the custom code’s
Enable
checkbox.
5. Click
Save
>
Exit
to return to the Setup Menu. The Pason computer starts
sending the custom WITS codes you selected.
Receiving a Custom WITS Code and Sending it as a Different Custom Code
The EDR supports receiving a custom WITS value using one custom code and then
sending it using a different custom code. Use this feature if a third party on the rig is
sending a WITS code to Pason that they
can’t change
, but that code is unusable by
another party who wants to receive it from Pason. For example, Acme Drive Consulting
could be sending top drive RPM to the Pason system as 4002, but General Directional
Associates needs to get top drive RPM from Pason as 0120.
If you need to do this, follow the steps in
Selecting Custom WITS Codes to Send
but before you save:
1. Click in a code’s row and delete the WITS code listed. This deletion doesn’t
affect the incoming code—it only prepares you for the next step.
2. Enter the custom four digit WITS code you want to use to send the value. Use a
code that’s different from the existing WITS codes. If the code you enter conflicts
with a current EDR WITS code, the EDR highlights your entry in red and does
not allow you to save your settings.
The example below, on an Operator workstation, shows an incoming custom WITS code
of 4002 ready to be deleted and given a new code used for sending.
