User-Configurable Data Messages
You can define new data messages for automatic messaging or
polling with the WMT700 profile. Each item in a user-
configurable data message string consists of 2 characters after the
\ character. For example, the item for wind speed is \ws. The
maximum number of characters for a string is 80.
The characters are passed to messages as they are. All visible
ASCII characters are allowed, except for Table 36 on page 120
that lists the available items for data message strings.
For a list of the predefined data messages, see section Data
Messages on page 127.
NOTE You can only use the user-configurable data messages with the WMT700
protocol.
Configuring Data Messages
Use the S command to define new data messages for WMT700
with the msg1, msg2, msg3, and msg4 parameters. For more
information on the S command, see S — Set Parameter on page
112.
S y,\xx
where
y = Parameter for the data message (msg1, msg2, msg3, msg4).
\xx = String for the new data message. For the available items, see
section Items for Data Messages below
After you have defined the new data message, you can test the
message by polling it in the configuration mode. For instructions,
see section POLL — Get Message on page 117.
Items for Data Messages
The user-configurable data messages can contain wind
measurement, control character, check sum, and monitoring
items. Configure new data messages with the msg1, msg2, msg3,
and msg4 parameters. All available items are listed in Table 36 on
page 120, Table 37 on page 120, and Table 38 on page 121.
