TX312 Transmitter
5.1.4.6 Random Channel
Random channel is the assigned random channel number. See Timed Channel
description for valid entries.
5.1.4.7 Random Baud Rate
Random Baud rate is assigned and channel dependent. Valid options are 100,
300, and 1200.
5.1.4.8 Timed Interval
Timed Interval is assigned by NESDIS and is a string variable in the format of
“dd_hh_mm_ss”, where dd is days and usually 00, hh is hours and usually 01,
mm is minutes and usually 00, and ss is seconds and usually 00.
5.1.4.9 Timed Offset
Timed Offset is assigned by NESDIS and is a string variable in the format of
“hh_mm_ss”, where hh is hours and usually 00, mm is minutes, and ss is
seconds.
5.1.4.10 Random Offset
Random Offset is a string variable in the format of “hh_mm_ss” where hh and
ss are usually zero and mm is 30 or 45.

5.2 Edlog Programming
This section only applies to the CR10(X), CR23X, and CR510 dataloggers.
The datalogger is used to measure and record data values. The TX312 is used
to transmit data over a GOES satellite to a ground receiving station. Program
instruction 126 is used to send data from the datalogger to the TX312 satellite
transmitter. The TX312 has two data buffers. The data buffers will hold data
until it is time to transmit the data. Data in the self-timed buffer is erased after
transmission. Data in the random buffer will be erased after the preset number
