Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
BufferControl
Constant
The BufferControl parameter specifies which buffer should be used (random or
self-timed) and whether data should be overwritten or appended to the existing
data. Data stored in the self-timed buffer is transmitted only during a
predetermined time frame. Data is erased from the transmitter's buffer after each
transmission. Data in the random buffer is transmitted immediately after a
threshold has been exceeded. The transmission is randomly repeated to insure it
is received.
Code Description
0 Append to self-timed buffer
1 Overwrite self-timed buffer
2 Append to random buffer
3 Overwrite random buffer
9 Clear random buffer
DataFormat
The DataFormat parameter specifies the format of the data sent to the transmitter
Constant
Code Description
0 CSI FP2 data; 3 bytes per data point
1 Floating point ASCII; 7 bytes per data point
2 18-bit binary integer; 3 bytes per data point, numbers to the right of
the decimal are truncated
3 RAWS7; 7 data points:
Data Point Description
1 total rainfall in inches, format = xx.xxx
2 wind speed MPH, format = xxx
3 vector average wind direction in degrees, format = xxx
4 air temperature in degrees F, format = xxx
5 RH percentage, format = xxx
6 fuel stick temperature in degrees F, format = xxx
7 battery voltage in VDC, format = xx.x
4 Fixed decimal ASCII xxx.x
5 Fixed decimal ASCII xx.xx
6 Fixed decimal ASCII x.xxx
7 Fixed decimal ASCII xxx
8 Fixed decimal ASCII xxxxx
For DataFormat options 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, if the data being
transmitted is formatted as a string, the datalogger will send the
string. For DataFormat options 0, 2, and 3, the datalogger will
search for numeric values, convert them to the appropriate format,
and send them to the transmitter.
GOESGPS (GoesArray1(6), GoesArray2(7) )
The GOESGPS instruction is used to store GPS data from the satellite into two
variable arrays.
