REPORT INTERVAL
You may program the PDI to report in repetitive periods using Schedule Reporting
Method, where the PDI will report all event samples in the receive buffer after the
specified Report Interval has elapsed. The PDI 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 event samples 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.
TIME TAG
When Time Tag is enabled, a time tag is appended immediately after the event
sample. The time tag consists of the month, day, year, hour, minute, and second at
which the data was calculated. Time Tag may be enabled or disabled. The default
Time Tag is disabled.
TERMINATING CHARACTER(S)
The Terminating Character(s) is added at the end of an event sample to match the
requirements of the host terminal or application software. The Terminating
Character(s) consists of one or two hexadecimal characters. The default Terminating
Characters are 0D Hex <cr> followed by 0A Hex <lf>.
DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION
You may enable or disable Dynamic Configuration for the PDI. Dynamic
configuration mode allows non-verbose or "on-the-fly" configuration commands to be
issued to the PDI. The default Dynamic Configuration setting is disabled.
DATA COMMANDS
You may issue PDI data commands through a host module to perform single
operations while temporarily overriding the module's current operating configuration.
Some data commands apply to all types of DAC modules, while others apply to
