Output Type
There are 2 identical analog outputs on each Sensor card in the
STC-2000A. The 9 pin female D-SUB connectors labeled SOURCE x/x
contain these analog outputs (see section 3.10), either of which is used
for the recorder output. You may program one of five variables to
appear on this output. They are absolute rate, rate deviation, power,
thickness or remote. The Remote setting allows a voltage level to be determined by an external computer to
appear at this output. (See T command of computer interfacing, Section 6)

Channel
There are 2 identical analog outputs on the Sensor card in the
STC-2000A. The 9 pin female D-SUB connector labeled SOURCE 1/2
contain these analog outputs (see section 3.10), either of which can be
used for the recorder output. A source output channel (1-2) can be
selected for use here and the other source output channel can be used for
the strip chart recorder (defined by an SS MAPS parameter: source output chnl). If the source output
channel parameter and the recorder output channel are set to the same channel, the source output channel
will be used and the recorder function will be lost. If this situation should occur, a reboot will be necessary
to reassign the recorder output.

CLOCK TIME
Real Time HH:MM Range is 00:00 - 23:59
Units Hours:Minutes
Parameter CLOCK DATE
Real Time Data MMDDYY Range is 010100 to 123199
Units Month Day Year
Setting The Clock
These 2 parameters program the clock of the STC-2000A. These are used in the process
accounting mode. The format for the time is 24 hour time. One o'clock in the afternoon is 13:00. The date
is programmed in month-day-year format without any separators. You need to enter any zeros in the day
(March 5th is 05, not just 5) and year fields. The range of dates is from 01/01/1989 through 12/31/2088.
That is to say, 89..99 years are interpreted as 1989..1999. 00 through 88 are interpreted as 2000..2088.
This date is year 2000 compliant, as far as the STC-2000A is concerned. Use of the two digit year numbers
outside of the STC-2000A require proper recognition of the century digits (19 or 20) which are implied but
not included in the exported (via RS232) information.
