Setting message parameters
The application Level Control provides two message types for the output of the application
results.
You can define which message is to be output by the LMS400 if the messages are polled
by a host. You can choose between two messages:
C
OLUMN
VALUES
Outputs the values measured in the columns in detail.
S
WITCHING
VALUES
Outputs whether the switching point is exceeded or not reached within a column.
In addition, using the C
ONTROLLED
BY
L
EVEL
option you can control the output of the messages
using the switching point for a column. Message output starts as soon as the switching
value in the column defined in the A
CTIVATED
BY
C
OLUMN
field is exceeded. Message output
stops as soon as the switching value for this column is not achieved.
How to define which message will be output:
On this subject please read the section
