the register, with up to
24 characters.
List of registers to be sent to the host computer. Both the name and value are sent. If an alternative
name for the tag is defined, this alternative name is sent. To send the content of the data logger file,
use _INTERNAL_/_LOG or _INTERNAL_/_LOG_E. When the content of the log file is selected, both
register identifiers and data are sent from the content of the log file.
TriggerList Device/Tag list
List of registers that can trigger the data transmission. When any of the listed registers change from
zero to non-zero value, transmission is triggered. If the register is of the memory type, the WS10
write 0 to it after the message is sent.
Novus offers at no cost a Windows application to run at the host computer to accept connection and data from multiple WS10. Received data is
saved on text files, one for each WS10. Source code in C language is included.
