Max
For input and holding registers of value type short or ushort, Min and Max are used to scale the
output into the integral range 0 – 65535 (the range of the data type used to communicate
register data back to the Modbus master device). Typically, you enter into Max the highest value
you expect this block to contain.
LiveReading
When “Yes”, a “live reading” is performed when a request to read or write the data is received.
Station Setup/Measurements/Mx/Mx.Ox/Telemetry Settings
Every output has a sub-menu for each telemetry device installed. The sub-menu is named after
the type of telemetry installed, e.g., “Iridium COM2: Iridium Settings”, or “Satlink COM3:
Selftimed Settings”, etc.
Note: this menu can typically be accessed from the associated communications device submenu
named “Select Output Settings”. For example, the Satlink Selftimed Settings menu can be
accessed via Communications/Satlink/SelfTimed/SelectOutputSettings. Changes can be made
from either menu.
