Data output
Analogue output
RS232 and
Digimatic output signals
A full range of interface cables are
available to connect your Tornado
to peripheral devices - see page 49
for details.
Continuous data
transmission
The continuous data stream rate is
25Hz, unless 115200 Baud is
selected, when it is 50Hz.
When using continuous
transmission over RS232 only, select
the TX METHOD as RS232 (see
page 24). If DIGIMATIC or DUAL is
selected, and no digimatic device is
connected, the display will
periodically freeze.
Press the
MAX
key again and the word MAX has now
disappeared from the display. The display will now indicate
torques applied in both directions as they are applied to the
torque sensor and maintain a 'running' display.
Press the
RESET
key to clear both maximum registers and
prepare for detecting the next maximum readings.
(See also COMMS section of Advanced Menu Options on
page 23)
An uncalibrated analogue output is available from the ‘D
type’ connector marked ‘coms’ for use with chart recorders,
oscilloscopes or any other devices requiring analogue
inputs. See technical specifications on pages 47 - 49 for
details.
It is possible to transmit the displayed reading to peripheral
devices (e.g. PC, printer) via the communications port, by
pressing and releasing the
TXD
key.
Displayed readings can also be requested individually from
a PC via the RS232 interface by sending a "?" character.
See page 32.
For sending a continuous data stream to a PC, printer, etc
press and hold the
TXD
key for 2 seconds then release.
TX will now appear in the display to indicate that data is
being sent, (see figure 5). To stop sending data, simply press
and release the
TXD
key, at which point TX will disappear
from the display.
Please note that the continuous data output only starts
when the load threshold default of 2% of the rated capacity
of the Tornado is reached. This threshold can be set from
0-100% (see page 24).
