ADVField/Hydra Operation Manual (September 1, 2001) 109
A3.6. Real-Time Data Acquisition Software – RS485
The following relates only to the DOS-based data collection software; the Windows real-time
software does not support RS485 multi-system operation.
•
To run several ADVFields/Hydras simultaneously, you need to create/edit an ASCII text file
named
ADVPROBE.DEF
.
•
The
ADVPROBE.DEF
definition file contains one line of code for each ADVField system in-
cluded in the RS485 chain. Each line specifies the address and probe configuration file that
each individual system will use. The file should look something like the following, where
the probe at address 1 is using configuration file
A001.PRO
, the probe at address 2 is using
file
A123.PRO
, and the probe at address 3 is using configuration file
A456.PRO
.
PROBE 1 A001.PRO
PROBE 2 A123.PRO
PROBE 3 A456.PRO
A3.7. ADFCheck and SonRec – RS485
The DOS diagnostic software
ADFCHECK
and the
SONREC
recorder extraction program have an ad-
ditional
–address
command line option to specify the system address.
To run
ADFCHECK
on CPU address 2 and COM port 1 (-p1) use the following command line:
adfcheck –p1 –a2
To run
SONREC
on CPU address 3 and COM port 1 (-p1) use the following command line:
sonrec –p1 –a3
