TxTime
This property defines an offet to TxInterval. It has the same format as TxInterval. A
TxTime of “00:15:00” means, “15 minutes after the hour”. Some examples of
transmission schedules are shown in the table, below:
12AM, 1AM, 2AM, …, 12PM, 1PM, 2PM, …
12AM, 2AM, 4AM, …, 12PM, 2PM, 4PM, …
12:30AM, 1:30AM, 2:30AM, …, 12:30PM, 1:30PM, …
12:15AM, 4:15AM, 8:15AM, 12:15PM, 4:15PM, …
TxFormat
This property defines the format of the data sent in self-timed transmissions (as well as
alarm transmissions when AlarmData = “AllSensors”). The following formats are
supported:
6-bit “binary” format, interleaved
6-bit “binary” format, non-interleaved
6-bit “binary” format, non-interleaved, with additional meta
data
ASCII human readable format using SHEF codes
ASCII human readable format using SHEF codes, where data
appears in fixed width format of 7 chars
ASCII human readable format based on NIFC requirements
ASCII human readable format based on NFRDS requirements
ASCII human readable format
Sutron Standard Protocol, binary format
ASCII human readable text format, with alarm flags
See Appendix A – Telemetry Formats, for detailed definitions of each of the formats.
Num Values
When the selected format is interleaved (e.g., PseudoBin-B), the number of data values to
include for each selected data item must be the same for all selected items, and so is
entered in this dialog (rather than where it is normally entered, in the GPRS telemetry
block properties).
For example: if Num Values is 4, and GPRS blocks tag the two data points, “HG” and
“HF”, then the last 4 values of HG and HF appear in the transmit message.
