Bay Technical Associates V79 PDI-1 - Manual (Page 29)

When Schedule Reporting Method is selected, the PDI will begin reporting event
samples as events occur at the programmed Report Start Time (see Section
5.1.4.2). The Report Start Time is programmable up to 24 hours in advance of
the current (time-of-day) clock time. Event samples are stored in the buffer until
the Report Start Time is reached at which time all buffered event samples are
reported to the host module. Further reporting is based upon the selected Report
Interval as explained in Section 5.1.4.3.
5.1.4.2 REPORT START TIME
By responding to the Enter Selection: message at the end of the Reporting Setup
Menu on page 23 with "2" (Report Start Time), you may program the time the PDI
will start reporting when using Schedule Reporting Method. The PDI will respond
with the Report Start Time menu as follows:
REPORT START TIME
Reporting Start Time...............HH:MM
Current Date and Time..............MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
Enter Hours (0-24) <cr>, or X to Exit:
Enter Minutes (0-59) <cr>, or X to Exit:
This menu shows the current Reporting Start Time, Current Date and Time as
reported by the base unit's time-of day clock when the reporting start time entry
was selected, and prompts you to enter the desired Report Start Time. Reporting
can be delayed up to 24 hours from the current time.
Enter the desired Report Start Time. For example, suppose the Current Time is
9:20:30 and the Reporting Start Time is set to 10:45. After you exit the
Configuration Main Menu, the PDI will start reporting event samples at 10:45 at
the programmed Sampling Setup. If the M Series loses power, reporting resumes
the next time the designated Report Start Time is observed by the time-of day
clock.
