TX320 Transmitter

Random Transmission Data Format: Specify whether random data will be
transmitted in ASCII, binary, or pseudo binary formats. This setting does not
change the format of the data; it only changes the flag word. The datalogger
program determines the data format and should match the format chosen for
this setting.

The default values for the remaining parameters in Settings
Editor
| Configuration can be used for many applications.
Refer to the DevConfig help for details about the parameters.

NOTE

Click Apply after changing settings.

4.1.3 Setting Editor | GPS

GPS Fix Interval: Enter the interval at which the transmitter will attempt to
get a GPS position fix (specified as hh:mm:ss). The GPS fix interval MUST
NOT coincide with the self-timed transmission interval. A GPS fix event must
occur at least two minutes on either side of a self-timed transmission. Click
Apply after changing the setting.

The default value of 00:00:00 disables periodic GPS position
fixes although these will still occur at power up and every 24
hours as a side effect of the daily automatic OCXO calibration.

NOTE

4.2 Step 2 – Program the Datalogger

The CRBasic program needs to include the GoesData() instruction, which tells
the datalogger to send data to the transmitter. Refer to Section 7.5.1,
GoesData(), for programming details and example.
