1.16 DATA ENTRY PROCEDURES USING THE RS-232 INTERFACE
The left-hand column shows the menu cells (described previously). Another way to look at
left-hand column items is to consider them menu questions. Then you can see that the right-
hand column answers these questions. Right-hand column answers can be:
z
Another series of menu cells (that become left-hand column items when selected).
z
An alphanumeric string (e.g., a site name).
z
An item from a scrollable option list (e.g., a class of liquids).
z
A numeric entry (e.g., a pipe outer diameter).
1.16.1 ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC STRINGS
An alphanumeric string is a series of numbers and letters including the Quotation Mark and
the Pound Sign symbols. You can also use a space. The meter uses these to identify a site setup
or user-modified table. Menu cells that use these strings provide an 8-character (max.) field
for data entry. Entering alphanumeric strings are easy since the 1010BX responds to keys
typed on your keyboard. The following example uses the [Create/Name Site] menu cell. This is
the first action required to begin a new site setup. We will use the site name [SITE1]. See the
screen below. Note that the right-hand highlight is blank.
z
Press the <Right Arrow> to access the alphanumeric entry field. Note that the prompt
changes to a question mark (?). Use the <Up or Down Arrows> or a PC keyboard to enter
the letters and numbers: SITE1. Note that the letters are upper case without you having to
use the <Shift> or <Caps Lock> keys.
