Chapter 32 Remote Display
Operation
32.1 Introduction
P160.XX Model
This parameter is fixed to function as a model 574. The
574 is not configurable to respond as a remote display
however, it can function as the master to a remote
display conected to it. GSE offers the model 450 and
model 550 instruments that double as remote displays.
Other manufacturer’s instrumentation (remote displays)
may be connected to the 574. The data stream
transmission will be a consideration for compatibility.
32.2 Select Remote Display Operation
(Setup For 450 and 550 Only)
This parameter in a 450 or a 550 is configurable to allow
these units to respond as remote displays for the 574.
To select remote display operation in a 450 or 550, key
in the following at parameter P160.XX:
<9992> <ENTER>
The 450 or 550 will respond with “Sure? ???”. Press
<ENTER> to verify remote display operation. The unit
will respond to your selection by displaying:
Model RmDsp
Note that earlier versions of the model 450 refered to the
Remote Display operation as the Model 451 operation.
The enabling code is the same.
32.3 Abort Remote Display Operation
(Set to Operate as a Standard Unit)
To abort the Remote Display operation of the 450 and
re-enter the setup mode, press <ZERO> + <SELECT>
simultaneously. Enter the standard 450 access code.
<SELECT> <ZERO> <PRINT> <UNITS> <TARE>
Go to parameter P160 to change the unit back to a
standard 450 configuration. Key in <9990> <ENTER>
<ENTER>.
To abort the Remote Display operation of the 550 and
re-enter the setup mode, press <CLR> + <SELECT>
simultaneously. The 550 will respond with a two choice
message.
Dsply Halt
1 for Setup (flash prompt)
2 Mac Abort (hold prompt)
Press “2” and an abort macro command will be sent to
the master unit, aborting any macro running. Press “1”
and the unit will request the access code to enter the
setup mode.
Press:
<100> <SELECT> <23640> <ID> <ENTER>
Go to parameter P160 to change the unit back to a
standard 550 configuration. Key in <9990> <ENTER>
<ENTER>.
32.4 Model 574 with Remote 550 or 450
Display
The 574 can be interfaced to most serial devices
provided they are compatible. With the full power
customization capabilities of the 574 its fairly easy to
interface with another serial device such as remote
displays. This section discusses the capabilities of
interfacing the 574 with a GSE 450 or 550 indicator used
as a remote display.
There are advantages of using a GSE instrument as a
remote display for a 574. GSE makes it very easy
(selectable) to setup the two instruments to talk to each
other. Specific parameters set aside allow for all
segments of the 574 display to be transmitted out of the
COM or Print port. The remote 450 or 550 can be set
(selectable at P-271) to detect this format and display it.
Refer to the 450 or 550 technical reference manuals for
these devices’ remote display capabilities setups.
Remote display formats: Display or Text
P290.X Echo
This parameter determines the format of the information
to be transmitted. The two formats allowable are
