8.2.10 Data Program
These menus allow the user to program three separate output
device communication port configuration profiles, which are
PRINTER, PC and MMC/SD flash card.
The functions described below covers all programming options
for each device. Some devices (e.g. MMC/SD Card) may have
less programming functions.
PRINT MODE specifies the format in which the data will be sent
over the communication port to all output devices. The available
modes are STANDARD (includes time, date and calibrated
analysis data etc.), and ENGINEERING (includes un-calibrated
data, temperature and atmospheric pressure, pump diagnostic
information, liquid phase measurement information etc. in
addition to the STANDARD data).
REACTION ON-LINE enables (YES) or disables (NO) the
automatic printout of the reaction result at the end of each
reaction.
FAULT ON-LINE enables (YES) or disables (NO) the automatic
printout of a fault or warning log as soon as it occurs.
CONTROL CHARS enables (YES) or disables (NO) the control
characters sent with the RS232 data for the output device
operation.
BAUDRATE (9600bps by default) specifies the data
communication baudrate for Printer and PC output devices. The
baudrate range is between 2400 and 115200bps.
FLOW CONTROL defines the data flow control mechanism used
between BioTector and the connected Printer or PC output
devices. The available options are NONE (no flow control),
XON/XOFF (inbound XON/XOFF flow control) and LPS1/10 (1 to
10 lines of data sent per second).
DECIMAL specifies whether a POINT (.) by default or a COMMA
(,) character represents the decimal point in the downloaded
analysis data files for all output devices.
