3. CHOOSE NETWORK
The Choose Network screen allows you to specify if the connection from the computer
running XLog is via a Serial Port (RS232, RS485, USB) or an Ethernet Port.
Serial Port requires knowledge of the connected instruments so that the following para-
meters can be entered on the Display and Logging Assignment screen.
Caption…..The name assigned to the Meter to be displayed on the Meter face on the
display screen and on the Header record of the Log file.
Type…..… DPM (analog input), Counter/Timer (pulse input), or Weight Meter
Address….The instrument’s serial communication address.
Data………The Data items to be displayed and/or logged: Reading, Peak, Valley, and Items
2 and/or 3 for the Counter/Timer.
Action…….Display, Log, Both, Read Only, None
Ethernet Port does not require knowledge of the connected instruments because XLog
discovers all of the Ethernet Nodes and all Devices connected to each Node. All parameters
are displayed on the Ethernet Discovery screen for easy selection.
Press ‘Next’ to proceed to the Settings screen for the selected Port.
