‘C’ – Continuous Output Mode
Syntax:
C
Description:
Output transmit mode refers to whether the system automatically transmits data
records to the host (continuous mode), or the host must request data records by
sending a command to the system each time (non-continuous mode).
Purpose:
This command enables the continuous print output mode. When the system is in
continuous mode, the data points from all stations are requested automatically and
are scrolled one after the other in a continuous “stream”. If more than one station
is enabled, then the data from each station will be displayed in numerical order
(station 1 first, station 2 second, etc).
Relatives:
c, P
Default:
Continuous output mode is disabled.
Example:
If the system is being used in an application where a fast update rate is critical,
(driving real-time computer graphics, e.g. an animated character) then the
continuous output configuration should be enabled. To enable continuous output
mode, send the command as follows:
C
Data from the FASTRAK will now scroll continuously across the serial port to
the host computer.
