5.1.4.1 REPORTING METHOD
By responding to the Enter Selection: message at the end of the Reporting Setup
Menu with "1" (Reporting Method), you may program how the PDI reports event
samples to the host device. The PDI will respond with the Select Reporting
Method sub-menu as follows:
SELECT REPORTING METHOD
Reporting Method....................COMMAND
Command............................1
Immediate (When Event Occurs)......2
Schedule...........................3
Exit...............................X
Enter Selection:
The PDI provides three Reporting Methods. These are Command (via data
commands only), Immediate (upon exiting configuration), and Schedule (where
reporting begins at a specified time).
When Command Reporting Method is selected, the PDI will report event samples
to the host module only when data commands are issued (see Section 4.3.).
When Immediate Reporting Method is selected, the PDI will report event samples
to the host module as events occur. If no event has occurred, no event sample is
generated. Reporting begins immediately after exiting the Configuration Main
Menu
