POINT
Allows a point to be chosen when ‘Process value’ has been selected as Field Type. The point is selected
from a pick-list containing all the input channels, derived channels, totalisers etc. in the instrument.
LINE FEED
Appears only when ‘Line Feed’ has been chosen as Field Type. Allows the user to enter the required
number of blank lines (up to 10) which are to be inserted.
12.3.3 ASCII Input Filtering
An enhancement has been added to the ASCII input feature in instruments with software versions 5.4
upwards. This feature provides a number of text fi lters, each with their own timeouts, to be applied to the
ASCII input so that only specifi c text strings are recognised. The feature has been designed for use, in
particular, with GPS systems to allow only relevant data to be logged.
TEXT FILTERS
Three text fi lters are provided each up to 20 characters long. Only messages containing confi gured pat-
terns will be processed i.e patterns that are not blank strings. Each of these has a timeout of up to 9999
seconds, only allowing fi ltered messages through at this rate. If this is set to 0 all the messages for the
fi lter will be processed.
CONFIGURATION
In confi guration level set the ‘Protocol’ parameter to ASCII (input) as shown in the screen view on the next
page. Select the serial port and communications parameters as described in the previous sections.
