NumVals
No. of data items for each parameter
taken from 8310 log and encoded in
each self-timed transmission
Last
Only the last value measured will be
transmitted.
Exclude
Do not transmit this output.
Select Outputs/Sequence
Sequence determines the order of this output in the transmission message.
Select Outputs/TxAlarmMode
TxAlarmMode specifies when to trigger an alarm relative to the sensor going into and/or out of
alarm.
When TxAlarmMode is “TxIn”, an alarm transmission is triggered when the sensor enters an
alarm state (e.g., exceeds the hi-limit alarm threshold). When TxAlarmMode is “TxInAndOut”, an
alarm transmission is triggered when the sensor enters or exits an alarm state (exiting an alarm
state occurs when the sensor value is less than the limit by more than the deadband amount).
When TxAlarmMode is “Off”, no alarm transmission is ever triggered by the sensor going into or
out of an alarm state.
Station Setup/Communications/COMx SATLINK
This menu provides access to all Satlink settings needed to configure the SATLINK for self-timed and/or
random transmissions. The menu has three fields that apply to all transmissions and sub menus for self-
timed and random transmissions.
Satlink COM2
SatID 00000000
InitSatlink YES
LocalTimeOffset 0
SelfTimedSettings >
RandomSettings >
End Satlink
SatID
This property defines the ID used in the satellite transmissions. The same ID is used for both
SelfTimed and Random transmissions. This ID is assigned by NESDIS along with a channel,
transmission time and interval. The ID consists of 8 characters 0-9, A-F.
Initialize Satlink
The Initialize Satlink property determines whether or not to send transmission settings to Satlink
at the start of recording. When this box is checked, the transmission settings (times, rates,
channels, etc.) are sent to the Satlink whenever the unit is started, otherwise, settings are not
sent to the Satlink, but assume instead that Satlink has been configured by some other program
(e.g., Satlink Communicator).
Local Time Offset
The Local Time Offset property defines the difference between the current local time and UTC
(Universal Time Coordinated). This offset is sent to Satlink at recording start. The offset is
