TX312 Transmitter
4.5.2.5 Read Audit Log
The Read Audit Log will display a history of the transmitter operation. The
latest entry in the audit log is shown at the top of the screen. The audit log will
record any error condition that has occurred in the past, plus other events.
4.5.2.6 Enable Transmitter
The Enable transmitter will enable the transmissions if the transmitter setup
parameters are all valid; otherwise, the transmitter cannot be enabled.
4.5.2.7 Disable Transmitter
The Disable Transmitter option is used to prevent the transmitter from
transmitting until it has been enabled.
4.5.2.8 Max Timed Message Length
The Maximum Timed Message Length command will calculate the maximum
number of bytes that can be sent given the current configuration of the
transmitter. To calculate the maximum number of bytes that can be sent, the
transmitter looks at the data rate (bits per second), and the message window
length. To convert the number of bytes that can be sent to the number of data
points that can be sent, divide the number of bytes by 3 if using Pseudo Binary
or by 7 if using an ASCII format.
4.5.2.9 Max Random Message Length
See Section 4.5.3.8 for details. The random message does not have a fixed
limit on message window size, but random messages should be kept as short as
possible to increase the likelihood of successful reception.
4.5.2.10 Clear Timed Buffer
The Clear Timed Buffer command will erase all data from the timed buffer.
4.5.2.11 Clear Random Buffer
The Clear Random Buffer command will erase all data from the random
buffer.
4.5.2.12 Send to Timed Buffer
The Send to Timed Buffer command is used to send data to the timed buffer.
Data will then be scheduled for transmission on the next available time slot.
4.5.2.13 Send to Random Buffer
The Send to Random Buffer command is used to send data to the random
buffer. Data will then be scheduled for transmission very soon.
4.5.2.14 SDI-12 Configuration
The SDI-12 configuration selects whether the SDI-12 or CS I/O port is active.
If the datalogger is unable to send data, use this command to check which port
is active. The CS I/O port is deactivated when the SDI-12 port has been
selected. The CS I/O port must be selected to use a datalogger.
