545C Operations Manual

The report string allows the definition a fixed string of printable ASCII

characters that is at the beginning of each new set of report characters.

This is useful for ignoring bursts of non-report text. Each report is started

with the report string and ends with the timeout parameter. If the cable

between the data logger and MCC-545C is connected part way through the

output of one report, and the report string text is “missed”, then a partial

report will not be created.

Remote Commands: GENERIC, P, COMMAND, command string

Some support for remotely commanding and configuring a generic data

logger is provided using this command format. If the data logger can accept

commands as a single line of text (no embedded <cr><lf>) without having

to be locally present at the data logger to type keys into a menu, then this

capability may be just the ticket. When a remote command is received by

the MCC-545C, it will output the Command String bytes to the data logger

preceded and followed by a carriage return and line feed. The response

text, up to 1024 bytes, will be captured and returned to the originating

modem as a remote command response message.
