BASE UNIT AND MODULE CONFIGURATION

____________________________________________________________________________

When Schedule Reporting Method is selected, the V77 ADM-1 will begin reporting

data messages at the programmed Report Start Time. The Report Start Time is

programmable up to 24 hours in advance of the current (time-of-day) clock time.

Data messages are stored in the buffer until the Report Start Time is reached at which

time all buffered data messages are reported to the host module. Further reporting is

based upon the selected Report Interval.

NOTE: When a data message is requested by entering the RAn or RSn data

commands, the Reporting and Sampling Methods currently programmed are

overridden and the data message(s) is reported. To resume the programmed

Sampling Method and Reporting Method, send the port select code followed

by <cr>.

Type “2” and <cr> to enter the Report Start Time menu. The V77 ADM-1 will

respond:

This menu shows the current Reporting Start Time, Current Date04/28/00 and Time

as reported by the base unit's time-of day clock when the reporting start time entry

was selected, and prompts you to enter the desired Report Start Time. Reporting can

be delayed up to 24 hours from the current time.

Enter the desired Report Start Time. For example, suppose the Current Time is

9:20:30 and the Reporting Start Time is set to 10:45. After you exit the Configuration

Main Menu, the V77 ADM-1 will start reporting data messages at 10:45 at the

programmed Sampling Setup. If the M Series loses power, reporting resumes the

next time the designated Report Start Time is observed by the time-of day clock.
