Options Screen
From the main menu, pressing the OPTION key will allow access to
the following options (Fig. 13).
Serial Port and Intvl
Ethernet
Date/Time
Diagnostics
Clear all protocols
Serial Number
Serial Port
The serial port sets the speed at which data is sent to or received from
an external device. The baud rate can be set to 9600, 38400 or 57600,
with 38400 being the default. The baud rate should match the data
reporting rate of the external device (computer or printer serial port).
Intvl
The time interval between data points sent to an external receiv-
ing device. The IEF100 internally records data points every minute.
When downloading the data, the interval between data points can be
changed from 1 to 15 minutes. The default interval is 5 minutes. For
long runs, it may be desirable to have fewer data points, and therefore
use higher values for the interval.
Ethernet
The ethernet connection is determined automatically. “NO
CONNECTION” will be displayed until an ethernet cable is attached
to the port. Once an active LAN connection is established, the local
server will assign an IP address that will be displayed in the XXX.
XXX.XXX.XXX format. This process usually takes about
10 seconds.
Note: When the options screen is
accessed, the IEF100 will first check to
see if there is an ethernet connection.
The IEF100 is inaccessible until the
check is completed (about 10 seconds).
The words “Checking Ethernet” will
flash until the check is completed.
