Section 9. Program Control Instructions
SetStatus ("FieldName", Value)
The SetStatus instruction is used to change the value for a setting in the
datalogger's Status table.
Syntax
SetStatus("FieldName, Value)
Remarks
The FieldName parameter is the name of the setting to be changed; the name
must be enclosed in quotes. The Value parameter is the value to which that
field should be set. If the value being set is a string (such as in Messages or
StationName), it must be enclosed in quotes. For all Status table settings except
Messages and StationName, setting the value to 0 resets the error indicator.
This can be useful for troubleshooting purposes. If a SetStatus instruction is in
the program, it will be executed and could reset a setting that the user changed
manually.
The settings shown below in the SetStatus Parameters Table are some of the
more common fields that users set.
