EDLOG does not calculate Final Storage usage
or Specify Final Storage Labels for this
instruction.
Instruction 101 SDM-INT8
The INT8 can be used to make interval or pulse
measurements and store the results in Input
Locations or directly in Final Storage. EDLOG
does not detect when results are stored in input
locations. It does not allocate or name input
locations other than the location specified in
parameter 7. This should be done with the
Block command and the Manual flag in the
Input Location Editor.
EDLOG does not calculate Final Storage usage
or Specify Final Storage Labels for this
instruction.
1: SDM-INT8 (P101)
1: 00 Address
2: 0000 Input Config: Channels 8,7,6,5
3: 0000 Input Config: Channels 4,3,2,1
4: 0000 Function: Channels 8,7,6,5
5: 0000 Function: Channels 4,3,2,1
6: 0000 Output Options
7: 0000 Loc [ _________ ]
8: 1.0 Offset
9: 0.0 Mult
When results are stored in Final Storage,
parameter 7 may be left at zero. This will result
in a “Warning: zero is an invalid inloc address,
Line: xx” warning which can be ignored.
P15 Serial I/O with a control port
This instruction allows the datalogger to
communicate with a RS-232 type sensor.
Characters can be received and/or transmitted.
EDLOG does not name or allocate Input
Locations other than the location specified in
parameter 10.
1: Port Serial I/O (Special) (P15)
1: 1 Reps
2: 00 Configuration Code
3: 0000 CTS/Delay
4: 00 First Control Port
5: 0000 Output Loc [ _________ ]
6: 0000 No. of Locs to Send
7: 0000 Termination Character
8: 0000 Maximum Characters
9: 0000 CTS/Input Wait
10: 0000 Loc [ _________ ]
11: 1.0 Mult
12: 0.0 Offset
When characters are only transmitted,
parameter 10 may be left at zero. This will
result in a “Warning: zero is an invalid inloc
address, Line: xx” warning which can be
ignored.
How do I convert files created by the old
EDLOG into new EDLOG files?
If you don’t care about transferring the
comments to the new file, you can simply open
the new EDLOG, use FILE/Document DLD
File, and select the old *.DLD from the list
presented. This creates a new *.CSI file based
on the original *.DLD, preserving input location
labels and memory requirements (*A settings).
If you want to preserve the comments in your
old files, you can run DOC2CSI.EXE from a
DOS prompt (look for DOC2CSI.EXE as a
separate program in the PC208 suite, not in the
PC208E shell menu). Section 9 of this manual
describes the proper syntax, or you can enter
“DOC2CSI” at a DOS prompt for a simple help
screen.
Keep in mind that DOC2CSI does not create a
new *.DLD file. If you change the program in
the new EDLOG, you must compile it to create
a new *.DLD.
(See Section 2.8 of this manual for a
explanation of the various files created by
EDLOG.)
