Configuring Transmission
Parameters
This section describes how to define and configure transmission
parameters for reports. The focus of this section is on the reports sent
through communication ports. For information on the transmission
parameters of reports sent to devices other than the standard ports, see
separate Technical References for the corresponding devices. For
sending reports to virtual COM ports, refer to Vaisala HydroMet™
Data Collection Platform User’s Guide, Volume 3.
To configure the transmission parameters of a report sent through a
communication port, proceed as follows:
1.
Select the desired report-port pair from the Reports sent/
Destination list box.
2.
A corresponding Configure frame appears on the left of the view.
This frame includes two smaller frames allowing you to configure
the Polled report sending parameters.
If you are working on a setup created with Lizard Setup Software
version 6.0 or earlier, you can also configure the Report framing
option. If your setup was created with Lizard Setup Software
version 6.0 or later, you have no Report framing available;
instead, you can perform the equivalent operations in the Report
view; see the following section.
You can choose both report sending modes (polled or timer enabled) by
entering the polled report sending parameters and selecting the Timed
sending enabled check box.
Adding a Frame to a Report
A report body can be enclosed within a frame consisting of a header and
a trailer. A header is a string of characters before the report body,
whereas a trailer is a string of characters after the report body. Headers
and trailers can be defined to reports to help distinguish them from other
reports.
The technique of adding a frame to the report depends on the version of
Lizard Setup Software used to create the setup and, thus, the report.
