The database parameters used by the LJSCAN point are listed and described below:
Configuration Parameters Function
Module Model 8215 module address
Interleave Number of Normal Scan Points to scan between Fast Scan Cycles. Refer
to Fast Scan discussion below.
FastScanMax Max Number of Fast Scan points to scan each Fast Scan Cycle. Refer to
the Fast Scan discussion below.
FastScanTime Time between Fast Scan Cycles. If 0:00:00 (default), Fast Scan Cycles
are determined using the Interleave and FastScanMax parameters.
Refer to the Fast Scan discussion below.
MaxRetry Value between 1-10 indicating the number of times the scanner will
attempt to poll a tank transmitter that has not responded. Default is 2.
Timeout Value between 0-30000 indicating the number of milliseconds the
scanner will wait for a response from a tank transmitter. Default is
2000.
ScanDelay Value between 0-30000 indicating the number of milliseconds the
scanner will delay between each poll. Default is 500.
LevelConvert Determines the units in which the level data will be displayed. F: feet,
M: Meters m: Millimeters.
TempConvert Determines the units in which the temperature data will be displayed.
F: Fahrenheit, C: Celsius.
LevelFilter Value used by LJ1000, LJ1500 and L2000 points for filtering level
changes
TempFilter Value used by LJ1000, LJ1500 and LJ2000 points for filtering
temperature changes
HoldOff Gauge down holdoff count. The HoldOff is used to reduce the number
of scan requests issued to a gauge that is not responding.
ScanTimeout Time value used to set an alarm bit in the PntStatus parameter of
LJ1000, LJ1500 and LJ2000 points for gauges that are not responding
or responding with errors.
