Mode 12 - Remote display "C"
This mode is used to extract data from an ASCII string that contains more than multiple data
values or non-numeric characters. When in Remote Display C mode, it can accommodate
selected Start and Stop characters and any number of characters between the Start character
and the data can be masked OFF and up to 8 display characters (including sign and DP) can
be masked ON and any number of characters between the last displayed character and the
Stop character masked OFF.
When CONFIG, CXXX is set, it is a Masked Remote Display and the following parameters
determine the operation. They must be set while the meter is set to something other than
CONFIG, CXXX however, because that is the one setting for which there is no serial communi-
cations with the meter. It is suggested to use CONFIG, 6XXX to set the following parameters
and then to use CONFIG, CXXX for operation.
1. START character (set to 00 if none desired)
2. STOP character (set to 00 if none desired)
Note: Only one of the above can be set to 00.
3. Number of characters following the START character to be ignored
4. Number of characters following the ignored characters to be displayed
Either Instrument Setup.exe or Serial.exe may be used to set the values for Remote Display C
mode. These programs may be downloaded from our website.
