XL™ Series Operation with the GOES Radio 16-31
16.6 GOES Radio Setup Example
The following example assumes that NOAA assigned the following settings for the application.
DCP Address = ABCD1234
ST Channel # = 56
ST Rate = 1 hour
ST Offset = 00:37:40
ST Baud Rate = 300
ST Window = 10 seconds
RR Channel # = 100
The options would be setup as follows:
GOES Mode: [Timed ]
GOES Time: [00:11:22] (set as needed)
DCP Adrs: [ABCD1234]
GOES ST CHNL: [056]
ST Rate: [01:00:00]
ST Offset: [00:37:40]
ST Baud Rate [ 300]
ST Window [10 ]
Center Data [No ]
ST Data Fmt [SHEF ]
Data Order [Scan ]
Data First [Newest]
Send SHEF Codes [No]
Append Batt Valu [Yes]
Extra Data Sets [01]
Source 1 [Stage] Source 2 [Temp ] Source 3 [SDI01] Source 4 [None ]
SHEF Code 1 [HG] SHEF Code 2 [TA] SHEF Code 3 [PR] SHEF Code 4 [ ]
MeasRate 1[00:15:00] MeasRate 2 [00:15:00] MeasRate 3 [00:15:00] MeasRate 4 [00:15:00]
Format 1 [XX.XX] Format 2 [XX.XX] Format 3 [XX.XX] Format 4 [XX.XX]
Also assume that the logging interval is set to 15 minutes.
Note that with a 15-minute scan interval and a 1 hour transmission rate, there will be 4 scans for
every GOES transmission. Since the “Extra Data Sets” option is set to 01, then there will be 4
new scans plus 4 old scans transmitted. The latter 4 are redundant and should have been
transmitted as the 4 new scans in the previous transmission.
There are three values being sent in a SHEF (ASCII) format and each value is formatted for 5
bytes. There is also a space between data values and a carriage return and line feed for every
line. In this case 4 more bytes per line, two spaces, the carriage return and the line feed, for a
