This command applies only to monitoring via
serial connection
set monitor log [y | n]
Enable/disable monitor log mode. When
enabled, the instrument will log data when
monitoring. Stopping monitor will halt logging.
Note: If LOG MODE is set to AUTO the
instrument will commence logging when in
water regardless of monitor status.
set monitor delimiter [comma | tab | space |
colon]
Set the delimiter of the monitor output.
set monitor checksum [y | n]
Enable/disable a 8 bit XOR checksum in the
monitor output. The checkum is appended to
each scan preceded by a “*”.
Ex.
>mon
1450.132,14.543 * 2B
1451.122,15.133 * 29
set monitor format [columns | amlx]
Set the monitor output format. See Appendix
B for a description of the columns and AMLx
formats.
Note that checksum does not appear in log
files.
set monitor sync [seconds]
Synchronizes the start of monitoring to the
nearest sync interval in seconds. When set to
0 the feature is disabled.
If enabled and the conditions for monitoring
are met (auto/start/command), the first
sample will start when the sync interval,
referenced to the time, is aligned.
Ex. Set Monitor Sync 600
When the instrument is monitoring, it will
remain idle until the next 10 min mark. At this
point the monitoring and data flow will begin.
display monitor
