Section 10. Probe Configuration Download (ADFSET.EXE)
The
ADFSET
program allows you to download a probe configuration file to the ADVField when
operating from a PC-compatible computer using only a text interface (e.g., a palmtop computer).
This may be useful when changing probes in the field with limited computer access. When oper-
ating the ADV from the direct command interface (e.g.; using a data logger), it is important to
download the correct probe configuration file before starting data collection. If the wrong con-
figuration file is used, velocity data will be corrupted. The command line syntax is:
ADFSET [com port] [conf. file]
The
[com port]
parameter is the communication port being used on the computer (1 for COM1,
2 for COM2). The
[conf. file]
parameter is the name of the probe configuration file to be
downloaded to the ADV (e.g.,
1102.PRO
when using probe serial number 1102). The probe con-
figuration file must be located in the directory from which
ADFSET
is run.
After execution,
ADFSET
displays the series of commands sent to the ADV. It then shows the re-
sulting probe configuration as output by the ADV, starts ADV data collection (leaving the ADV
in data acquisition mode), and returns to the DOS prompt.
