To Output RS232 Data from the SpaceLogger.S10
RS232 data may be output in two forms from the SpaceLogger. There is the option to output data
exactly as it is received by the SpaceLogger from the attached device/sensor(s), or the option to
output the data in the format it is written to the log file on the memory card.
The wiring connections for RS232 output are as described in Section 4.2 – signal to terminal 14
(green) RS232 Output 1 and ground to any GND terminal (blue).
The baud rate of the output data stream is as per the data received on RS232 Input 1, i.e. default
9600 baud or as selected per Section 5.9.
RS232 data output from the SpaecLogger.S10 is enabled by using the following SETUP.TXT
command line:
OUTPUT=o
Where o = I, L or N
If o =
I
, the data input on the RS232 input (Rx) is output on the RS232 output
(Tx)
If o =
L
, the data as written to the log file on the memory card is output on the
RS232 output (Tx)
If o =
N
, no data will be output
Please note that the SpaceLogger model, software version and time & date are also output on
powering on.

To Enable a Handshake Response
Should one of the connected devices require a handshake response to initiate data output, the
SpaceLogger.S10 may be set to detect a message from the device defined by any one of the STX,
ETX, STX2 or ETX2 conditions. One receipt of this message, the logger outputs the ASCII string
defined by command RESPONSE.
The handshake function may be enabled via the following SETUP.TXT command line:
HANDSHAKE=h
Where h = STX, ETX, STX2, ETX2 or N
If h =
STX
, the logger will output the ASCII string defined by command
RESPONSE on receipt of the STX identifier on RS232 Input 1
If h =
ETX
, the logger will output the ASCII string defined by command
RESPONSE on receipt of the ETX identifier on RS232 Input 1
If h =
STX2
, the logger will output the ASCII string defined by command
RESPONSE on receipt of the STX2 identifier on RS232 Input 1 or 2
(determined by the condition of command RX2)
