G.3 Setting Up the PC208 DOS Software Package
The station file must be called ###.STN where ### is the 3-digit ID number
(parameter 8 of Instruction 97) from the datalogger program. After the computer
answers the call, it searches for a station file (.STN) with the name of the 3-digit
ID number. The computer will then collect data based on the data collection
method in that station file. In this example, the 3-digit ID number is 115 so the
station file is called 115.STN and the computer will store the data in a file called
115.DAT. After the computer has collected the data, it will look for a batch file
(.BAT) with the same file name (in this example, 115.BAT). If it finds the correct
batch file, it will execute the batch file before returning to the wait mode to wait
for another call.
