A.3.2 Other Masks
By choosing DataCollect or Product from the mask folder and clicking on the Open
button, you get the following information:
â Data Collected: it is a database consisting of data packets and device
information sent by the devices. The progressive ID, DevID, Data, Quantity, Date
fields are displayed on the left side of the MainFrom window. The Quantity field
is incremented every time a device sends the same data packet.
â Product: the database fields are ID, Data, Price, Description. The Description
field content is, in this example, the data returned in a two way transaction to the
device.
As in the Excel example, the VBA source code uses OpenNetwork, CloseNetwork,
Network Status methods, Device DataWrite method, DataEvent and ErrorEvent
exported by ActiveX (see pars. 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 7.2).
