Note: The logger only generates output data (points) for channels that have been
set up and are operating.
Rate of Change (ROC) data is sent in floating-point format, but only gets sent
when a channel’s Rate of Change alarm is active.
Hi-Res data for a channel is only sent upon receiving a request from the
WITS Master Station, or when an alarm is activated.
3.9. WITS UTILITIES
The WITS utility is provided within IDT for the purpose of making files that can be used
by the WITS Master Station to re-program certain settings or functions within the logger;
these may be standard WITS features or useful non-standard features. IDT does not
require the pre-load of any logger configuration in order to generate the files; they are
stand-alone commands suitable for any Multilog 2 logger that supports WITS and is of a
suitable configuration.
The file produced by IDT must be loaded into the WITS Master Station, from where it
can be sent to the loggers through the WITS file mechanism.
The logger collects the command (contained in the file) when it next calls in to deliver
data. The command is acted upon immediately following data delivery, and without any
subsequent re-start of the logger.
3.9.1. ACCESSING WITS UTILITIES
