4.5.10 Trigger Functions
The Model 430 Programmer provides trigger functions which provide a
means of collecting operational data with a minimum of commands and
directing the output to either or both remote interfaces.
4.5.10.1 Description of the Trigger Functions
The Model 430 Programmer defines a trigger enable register, very similar to
the enable registers of the status system, which controls which data is output
and the interface to which the data is presented. The trigger enable register is
defined as shown in Table 4-6.
To enable the trigger functions, the *ETE <
enable_value
> command is
written with a decimal value corresponding to the binary-weighted sum of the
desired functions. Upon receipt of the
*TRG command, the Model 430
Programmer places the return data in the appropriate output buffer(s). Data
placed in the serial or Ethernet output buffers is transmitted immediately.
Note that trigger output data may be placed in both the serial and the Ethernet
output buffers if desired.
