1.4.5 CREATING A STATION FILE OR ADDING
SCHEDULING INFORMATION TO AN
EXISTING STATION FILE
Figure 1.4-2 shows the station file editor
available from the schedule editor. This editor
is displayed when an existing station file is
edited from the schedule editor or when a new
station file is created from the schedule editor.
See Section 5.1 (TELCOM) in the PC208
manual for detail on these parameters.
See Section 1.4.1 if station files are to be used
with on-line collection and scheduled collection.
1.4.6 STATION FILES OTHER THAN
DATALOGGER STATION FILES
Station files normally define communication and
data collection for a datalogger site. Station
files created with the schedule editor can also
be used to schedule DOS commands so that
they occur at a given interval or station files that
allow TELCOM to drop out of the wait mode at a
given interval. The option to create these
stations is given when the NEW STATION
button is selected on the schedule editor. See
Section 5.1 (Telcom) for details on the station
file types.
1.4.7 ANSWERING INCOMING CALLS
Select the CALLBACK button to add
parameters allowing the datalogger initiated
calls to be answered.
A dialog box allowing the selection of COM port
and BAUD rate is displayed. Selecting the OK
button will add /A COMx:baud (x is the port 1-4
and baud is the selected baud rate) line to the
start of the schedule and will add the wait option
/W to the end.
The PC must be turned on, PC208 must be
running and configured for CallBack, and the
datalogger must be programmed to initiate
communications in order for the Call Back
feature to work. In addition, the PC’s modem
must be configured to answer incoming calls as
the default power-on/reset configuration.
Please refer to your modem manual for specific
commands and operating instruction. Refer to
your datalogger manual for datalogger initiated
communications instructions. See Appendix A
for more details about modem dip-switch
settings and modem commands required for
datalogger initiated calls.
