an output’s alarm settings to determine when to make a random transmission, set its
TxAlarmMode property to TxIn.
Use the Diagnostics/COMx/Satlink Test menu to display the planned message that will be
transmitted.
Recording: OFF/ON
When you are entering the setup, the 8310 keeps Recording OFF. This keeps the 8310 from
being confused as you are configuring measurements and communications. With recording
OFF, the 8310 will still answer the phone as setup in the Modem setup and will also
communicate over a radio. You can also view live data for some sensors while recording is OFF.
When you set Recording ON the 8310 gets to work. It will begin to use the information you
entered to measure, sample and log data. The 8310 will check for alarms if enabled and
perform alarm actions that have been programmed. If the unit has a GOES radio it will use the
setup information to make any scheduled and random transmissions specified.
See the Recording section in Chapter 4 for a complete description of Recording ON.
