Reporting Setup allows you to program how the V77 ADM-1 reports data messages
to the host module. The items you may program in the Reporting Setup include
Reporting Method, Report Start Time, Report Interval, Set Host Address, Data
Format, Time Tag, and Terminating Character(s).
REPORTING METHOD
Reporting Method is the manner in which data messages are sent to the designated
host module. The V77 ADM-1 provides three Reporting Methods. These are
Command (upon request via data commands), Immediate (upon exiting
configuration), and Schedule (where reporting begins at a specified time). The
default Reporting Method is Command.
REPORT START TIME
Report Start Time is the time reporting begins when Schedule Reporting Method is
selected. The start of reporting may be delayed up to 24 hours from the current time
recorded by the M Series time-of-day clock and reporting will occur in cyclic periods
as determined by the Report Interval. The default Report Start Time is 00:00.
REPORT INTERVAL
You may program the V77 ADM-1 to report in repetitive periods using Schedule
Reporting Method, where the V77 ADM-1 will report all data messages in the receive
buffer after the specified Report Interval has elapsed. The V77 ADM-1 will report
until the buffer is empty and then report again after the specified Report Interval has
expired. The default Report Interval is 00:00 (every 24 hours).
HOST ADDRESS
Host Address is the designated host module where data messages are sent when using
Immediate or Schedule Reporting Method. The Host Address consists of the Unit
Number (1 to 32), Module Number (1 to 16), and Port Number (1 to 4) of the
designated host module. The default Host Address is Unit 1, Module 1, Port 1.
DATA FORMAT
Data Format is the format of the data messages sent to the designated host module
which may be in Hexadecimal, Decimal, or Engineering Units. When Hexadecimal
Data Format is selected, the data message will appear as a hexadecimal value between
000 Hex (low range) and FFF Hex (high range). When Decimal Data Format is
selected, the data message will appear as a decimal value between 0 (low range) and
4095 (high range). When Engineering Units Data Format is selected, the data
