Controlling the Type of Standardize for a Specific Sensor
With Software Release 280.1, the system now has the ability of specifying for each
sensor, what type of standardize is to be performed when a DIRT standardize is
requested from the Host. Most sensors do not perform differently for either a
CLEAN or DIRT standardize, but for those that do, it may be desirable at times to
always have a CLEAN standardize even when a DIRT standardize is requested.
The sensors in question which can sense the difference are the weight and caliper
sensors. Another sensor which now joins this group, is the OptiPak sensor. With
this feature turned on for the OptiPak, the sensor will ignore collecting new
standardize data at a DIRT standardize request. The only time the OptiPak sensor
will actually establish new standardize data is when a CLEAN one is selected.
The instance variable defaultStdzType, located in each sensor object, determines
what type of standardize the sensor will perform whenever a DIRT standardize has
been requested by either the host or the workstation. The selection code used to
determine whether it is a CLEAN or DIRT standardize, is “1” for CLEAN and “0”
for DIRT. Therefore, if the defaultStdzType is set to a “1”, the sensor will do a
CLEAN standardize as requested, except of course the OptiPak sensor which will
not standardize at all. CLEAN standardizes are always responded to by the sensors
as requested. The default value of the defaultStdzType for all sensors except for
OptiPak is a “0”. The value for OptiPak is defaulted to a “1”.
It should be noted that no capability in the standardize process has been lost. What
this means is more flexibility as to what type of standardize is done when a DIRT
standardize has been requested.
