will be 200. The use of MODEM ENABLE is normally off and the RING line is tied high to
keep the CR10X in an active state.
The current values are viewed by entering CR10X<Enter> as shown in the following example.
+cr10x 04/08/14 10:43:12
ACQMODE = ALL
INTERVAL = OFF
ORDER = FIFO
GROUP = CR10X
TIME = CR10X
MAXQ = 3
SCALE = CR10X
MODEM ENABLE = OFF
5.7.3 Acquire Mode
There are three modes used by the MRC-565 for controlling data acquisition from the CR10X.
These are "ALL", "CURRENT", and "LAST,N".
The CR10X,ACQMODE,ALL mode will read all the data recorded in the Final Storage area
starting from the last location read by the MRC-565. This is useful where all the data for each
site is important, not just the most-recent data. This mode lets the CR10X gather data for a while
then the MRC-565 can acquire all that was stored later. For example, you might want the CR10x
to store data every hour, but have the MRC-565 acquire and transmit all of it at midnight. For
each scan, the MRC-565 will read as many data reports as it can, limited by the
CR10X,MAXQ,NN setting, and the amount of available memory. These two limits are
discussed below in the memory management paragraph.
The CR10X,ACQMODE,CURRENT mode will only get the very last single data group stored
in the Final Storage area with each scan. It assumes there is only one group for each data
interval. This is compatible with systems already installed in the field.
The CR10X,ACQMODE,LAST,N mode will read the last "n" data groups each time a scan is
scheduled. The value of "n" is set to the number of groups in each reporting interval. This mode
is useful when you want to be able to change the reporting interval remotely, and the cr10X
program cannot be modified. For example, you can setup the CR10X program to record data
every minute, but have the MRC-565 acquire the most recent data every hour. You can then
change the MRC-565 acquisition scan timing to any interval from one minute to 24 hours
without modifying the CR10X program.
