You may delay data transmission of serial output for a time
parameter you specify by clicking the

window will appear. To set the time of the

Delay, type a numeric value in the appropriate field, and click on

Selecting output data

Click the buttons corresponding to the data types you wish to
output on the report. As you do so, the appropriate coding for the
output analysis will be automatically inserted in the text box.

NOTE

For some data output options, you will need to select the desired output
field length using the spin controls

provided in the Format Data

Output window. Experienced users may type code directly into the text
box by clicking in the text box to place the cursor at the appropriate point.
The text box information may also be manipulated using the mouse click-
and-drag technique to highlight data and then using standard Windows

cut (

-X), copy (

-C), and paste (

-V) keyboard combinations. In

this way, formatting data can easily be copied from one port configura-
tion to another.
