Delaying serial output
e. You may delay data transmission of serial output for a time
parameter you specify by clicking the Delay button to insert the
delay code into the Configuration list box, Header or Footer.
The Delay Configuration window will appear. To set the time of
the Delay, type a numeric value in the appropriate field, and click
on one of the radio buttons to select the correct unit of time.
Then click OK.
Selecting output data
f. Click the buttons corresponding to the data types you wish to
output on the report. As you do so, the appropriate coding for the
output analysis will be inserted in the text box.
NOTE For some data output options, you will need to select the desired output
field length using the spin controls
provided in the Format Data
Output window. Experienced users may type code directly into the text
box by placing the cursor at the appropriate point. The text box informa-
tion may also be manipulated using the mouse click-and-drag technique
to highlight data and then using standard Windows
® cut ( C C C C C-X), copy
( C C C C C-C), and paste (C C C C C-V) keyboard combinations. In this way, format-
ting data can easily be copied from one port configuration to another.
