Sending coefficient data to the serial port
Coefficients from the current results window can be sent to an RS-232 serial
port of the user’s choice whenever a new feature is measured. The user can also
insert an ASCII delimiter between the coefficients and include coefficient labels
in the data transmission.
To send coefficients:
Step 1
Enter the desired COM port number for the RS-
232 transmission of coefficient data into the
COM# field. Verify that the specified COM port
is not already reserved for some other purpose.
Step 2
Enter the ASCII code of the delimiter used to
separate coefficient data fields into the Delimiter
field. A delimiter is required to separate data fields.
NOTE
A chart of ASCII codes is provided in Chapter 9: Reference
Material.
Step 3
Check the Send on new feature box to send coefficient data to the RS-232 port.
Coefficient data will be sent from the results window each time a new feature is
measured.
Step 4
Check the Include labels box to transmit the result window’s alpha labels with
the numeric coefficient data. Without labels, the data is transmitted as a series
of numeric data fields.
Setting machine zero
The QC5000 machine zero can be specified and set at any time to facilitate set
up, testing and encoder replacement.
To set machine zero:
Step 1
Click the Reference marks, Hard stop or None ra-
dio box to specify the type of machine zero used.
CAUTION
The type of machine zero specified here
should be consistent with the type
specified on the Encoder Options screen.
Step 2
Click the Set now button to set machine zero.
