CR10X Reference Manual
12-12
Parameter 1:
The datalogger will call out using the modem specified in Parameter 1. If the call
is to go from one type of modem to another, list the first modem to be used. For
example, when calling through a RF modem to phone, you would use a code for
an RF Modem. The Modem/Baud Rate option codes are shown on page 12-14.
When the phone modem is specified, the following commands are sent to the
modem before the phone number: ATV0 [Enter], ATS7=180 [Enter], and ATDT.
The first command causes the modem to respond with digits rather than words.
The second command causes the modem to wait for 180 seconds after dialing for
the carrier. The third command causes the modem to dial the phone number (in
Instruction(s) 63 or 68) in ‘Touch Tones’. Additional commands can be entered as
part of the telephone number (e.g. ‘,’ for a delay or ‘P’ for pulse dialing).
Additional commands must be entered into the subsequent instructions as their
ASCII equivalents (Appendix E).
Parameter 2:
When the instruction is executed and the interrupt disable flag (Parameter 2) is
low, the CR10X initiates the call. The datalogger will continue to attempt
communications until the interrupt disable flag has been set high. As soon as the
flag is set high, the datalogger quits trying to initiate the call. After a successful
call has ended, the flag is automatically set high.
Be careful to make sure the only times this flag is set low or high
are the times you actually want to initiate or disable the call.
Parameter 3:
Parameter 3 sets the time limit in 1 second units. Limit on the call is timed from
the start of the instruction until a valid ID number is received by the CR10X. This
time limit includes the dialling time.
If the complete ID number is not received by the CR10X within the time allotted
in parameter 3, the datalogger hangs up and waits for the time for the next attempt
or retry.
Parameter 4:
The CR10X will repeat the call at a fast interval specified by Parameter 4 (in 1
second units).
Parameter 5:
Parameter 5 sets the number of times the CR10X will attempt retries at the fast interval
(parameter 4), before attempting calls at the slow interval (parameter 6).
Parameter 6:
Parameter 6 sets the delay between slow retries (in 1 min. units).
