Tank Gate Interface
44 Installation and Operations Manual
Maxtime Specifies the maximum time (in secs) between automatic Change of
State data being sent to the Host in response to a Change of State
Request. Report must be set to either Low or High for the Value
parameter to be sent in response to a Change of State Request. A value
of 0 disables this option. Non-zero values cause responses to be sent
even if the value has not changed since the last message. The
maximum is 255 seconds. The default is 240.
Watchdog Enables the watchdog task on the Motherboard. The watchdog task
monitors the LJ1000 point on the Model 8215 and verifies it is
scanning for gauges. If the Model 8215 fails, the 0x4000 and the
0x0010 bits of the PntStatus will be set to indicate the failure.
