AVW200-series 2-Channel Vibrating Wire Spectrum Analyzer Modules

instructions are ran in a sequential mode, a different result

variable should be specified for each AVW200 (see 6.1.2).

The result codes are as follows:

Code Description

0

Communication successful. Values have been

written to the destination array.

>1

Number of communication failures. NAN values

will be stored in the destination array. Resets to 0

upon successful communication.

-3

First communication. Values will be available on

the next scan.

ComPort

The ComPort parameter is used to specify the

communications port that will be used to communicate with

the AVW200. Enter a numeric or alphanumeric code:

Alphanumeric Description

ComRS232

AVW200 connects to datalogger’s RS-232

port via 18663 cable

ComME

RF401 connects to datalogger's CS I/O

port; RF401 configured as modem enabled

ComSDC7

RF401 connects to datalogger's CS I/O

port; RF401 configured as SDC7

ComSDC8

RF401 connects to datalogger's CS I/O

port; RF401 configured as SDC8

ComSDC10

RF401 connects to datalogger's CS I/O

port; RF401 configured as SDC10

ComSDC11

RF401 connects to datalogger's CS I/O

port; RF401 configured as SDC 11

Com1

AVW200 connects to datalogger's control

ports 1 & 2 via 17855 cable

Com2

AVW200 connects to datalogger's control

ports 3 & 4 via 17855 cable

Com3

AVW200 connects to datalogger's control

ports 5 & 6 via 17855 cable

Com4

AVW200 connects to datalogger's control

ports 7 & 8 via 17855 cable

NeighborAddr The NeighborAddr is used to specify a static route to the

AVW200 (e.g., the PakBus address of a "neighbor" device

that the host can go through to communicate with the

AVW200). If 0 is entered, the AVW200 is assumed to be a

neighbor (i.e., the host datalogger can communicate with the

AVW200 directly).

PakBusAddr

The PakBusAddr parameter identifies the PakBus address of

the AVW200 with which the host datalogger is trying to

communicate. Valid entries are 1 through 4094. Each

PakBus device in the network must have a unique address.

Dest

The Dest parameter is the variable array in which to store the

results of the instruction. Dest is a single-dimensioned array

of 5 or 6 (depending upon whether a thermistor is being

measured) if only one sensor is being measured. Dest is a

multi-dimensioned array of 5 or 6 if multiple sensors are
