Output Modes
There are six output modes available on the ProScale RF receiver. The first five
are ASCII text formats and are outlined below:
Mode Description
0 Position only
1 Position with units type (MM or IN)
2 Position with display (transmitter) ID
3 Position with units and display ID
4 Full Message Display, see next page.
The fifth mode is a binary data mode that provides partial message emulation for
Accurate Technology’s ProRF two-way radio system. This provides backward
compatibility for applications that were designed using the ProRF system.
In the case of output mode 0, an ASCII position is provided followed by the
programmed terminator (CR or CR/LF). In the other text modes, each field is
separated by the programmed delimiting character (space by default). The entire
line or record is then followed by the programmed terminating character.
The following are examples of output modes 0 through 3:
Output mode 0
Position<terminator>
Output mode 1
Position<delimiter>Units<terminator>
Output mode 2
Position<delimiter>ID<terminator>
Output mode 3
Position<delimiter>Units<delimiter>ID<terminator>
Deleting a previous position record
The ProScale General Purpose display has the capability of transmitting a
“delete previous measurement” signal by pressing the F2 key on the display.
This causes the text “DEL” to be displayed instead of a position. This can be
used to indicate to manually remove the previously recorded entry in a file.
