TempScan / MultiScan User's Manual 879596 System Configuration 4-25
With digital input stamping, the “on” (1) or “off” (0) states of the 8 digital inputs can be stamped to each
scan in real time. Digital input stamping of each scan can be enabled with the Set Digital Input Stamping
(
I# ) command. For more information, see command Set Digital Input Stamping ( I# ) in Appendix A -
API Command Reference.
To make use of this command, EEPROM memory upgrades are required, as follows:
TempScan/1100: Requires the TEMP/1100/UPG upgrade package, with EEPROM #446-0300-1,
Version 1.2 or greater.
MultiScan/1200: Requires the MULTI/1200/UPG upgrade package, with EEPROM #264-0300-1,
Version 2.1 or greater.
Note: The document Firmware Upgrade (#403-0922) details how to install the new EEPROM
upgrades.
Note: With MultiScan/1200 only, alarm stamping is not valid in single-channel high-speed burst
mode.
Note: If scan alarm stamping has also been enabled via the Set Scan Alarm Stamping ( A# )
command, then the digital input states will be stamped after the alarm output states have been
stamped.
Example 12i. Digital Input Stamping Enabled
(1) PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;I#1X”
(2) (Command lines to configure and start an acquisition.)
(3) PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;R1X”
(4) PRINT#1, “ENTER07”
(5) INPUT A$
+0234.20 -0019.40 +0001.40 +0023.60 036 000
The above program example demonstrates how to enable digital input stamping:
• Line 1: Enable digital input stamping.
• Line 2: Provide the appropriate command lines to configure and start an acquisition.
• Line 3: Request the next scan in the buffer.
• Line 4: Retrieve the scan.
• Line 5: The screen will show the scan data in the buffer, stamped with the digital input states.
Example 12j. Digital Input Stamping Disabled (Default)
(1) PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;I#0X”
(2) (Command lines to configure and start an acquisition.)
(3) PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;R1X”
(4) PRINT#1, “ENTER07”
(5) INPUT A$
+0234.20 -0019.40 +0001.40 +0023.60
The above program example demonstrates how to disable digital input stamping:
• Line 1: Disable digital input stamping.
• Line 2: Provide the appropriate command lines to configure and start an acquisition.
• Line 3: Request the next scan in the buffer.
• Line 4: Retrieve the scan.
• Line 5: The screen will show the scan data in the buffer, without a digital input stamp.
