SECTION 3. GRAPHTERM

3-10

gt gapsSYMBOLSmONO

initiates GraphTerm, and leaves gaps in
missing graph data, shows symbols on the
trends, and displays in monochrome mode.

3.5.2 SENDING TEXT

The Terminal Emulator mode will now support
command line entries. Example:

GT stnfile C T /sendtext\echoes

where sendtext are the characters to send and
echoes are the responses that GraphTerm will
wait for each respective send character. If no
echoes are specified, GraphTerm will not wait.
Control characters are inserted into text by
entering '+#' and the ASCII number (e.g., +#13
to insert a carriage return character).

If command line parameters are used in
Terminal Emulator mode, GraphTerm will drop
out of the mode when the text has been sent to
the datalogger. The characters <, >, and %
need to be expressed as numbers since they
mean "from file", "to file", and argument when in
a batch file. There may be other problem
characters as well.

/+#1+#2+#3A

is the proper way to send sequential control
characters followed by text.

3.5.3 CHANGING STATIONS AND TIME LIMITS

When changing stations, add /9 or /R to the
station file name to hang up to the MD9 or RF
respectively. When the next station is called, it
will then start with the next MD9 address or RF
link.

On the command line, monitor option /Rssss,
or /9ssss will hang-up to Rf or MD9
respectively after ssss seconds, wait 10
seconds, then re-establish the link and monitor
mode for another ssss seconds before
repeating the sequence. This allows the
datalogger a chance to write to a storage
module. /Pssss does the same thing except it
hangs up the total interface and waits 30
seconds. /Qssss will cause the monitor mode
to quit after ssss seconds. Examples:

GT STATION M/Q1800 filename Q
(monitor station using the labels in filename.dld
and quit after 30 min.)

GT STATION M/R600 filename Q
(monitor, but hang to RF every 10 minutes until
the user presses Esc.)

GT MTLOGAN M/R600 MTLOGAN G Q
(same except monitor in graphics mode.)
