Profile Settings
The DT80 profile is a group of named settings which control aspects of the logger's operation. Unlike parameters and
switches, profile settings are "permanent", in that they are not cleared by a soft or hard reset (INIT and HRESET
commands respectively, see
Resetting the DT80 (P273))
Structure
The DT80's profile settings are divided into a number of sections, each of which deals with a particular area, e.g. host
port, modem, Modbus server, etc. Each section is identified by name, e.g. "HOST_PORT".
Each section then contains a number of keys (settings). Each key has a name (e.g. "BPS") and a value (e.g. "57600").
Depending on the key, the value may be a numeric, boolean (yes/ no) or string value.
The value of any of the defined keys can be viewed of changed using the
PROFILE command.
The PROFILE Command
The PROFILE command syntax is as follows:
Command
Description
PROFILE
return current settings for all profile keys
PROFILE section
return current settings for all profile keys in section
PROFILE section key
return current value of specified profile key
PROFILE section key=
set specified profile key to default value
PROFILE section=
set all keys in section to default value
PROFILE section key=keystring
set specified profile key to keystring. Enclose in quotes, i.e.
"
keystring
"
if the
string contains spaces or control characters
 Displaying Profile Settings
The following command will display all profile values in the HOST_PORT section:
PROFILE HOST_PORT
[HOST_PORT]
BPS = 57600
DATA_BITS = 8
STOP_BITS = 1
PARITY = NONE
*FLOW = HARDWARE
FUNCTION = COMMAND
When profile values are returned, an asterisk (*) before a key name indicates that the key has been changed from its
factory default value. In the above example, to return the
FLOW key to its default setting you would use:
PROFILE HOST_PORT FLOW=
 Setting Profile Keys
The following command will change the default host baud rate to 115200 bps:
PROFILE HOST_PORT BPS=115200
Profile setting changes generally take effect immediately. So in this case, if the active command port was the host RS232
port then all subsequent commands would need to be sent at 115200 bps.
The DT80 supports the following profile keys:
