RS-232 Data Collector Offloading
The operator can initiate the data offload to a Data Collector, or data can be solicited by a
data collector automatically. This is performed by *pressing the enter button twice while
the Accu-Setter is in the RUN mode. For the data collector to automatically solicit data,
an “EEH” code or “44H” 00 to 09 code for multiple column applications needs to be sent.
The offloaded data packet will contain five fields for each feature being measured. Each
field will be separated by a semicolon (;) delimiter. If there is no data for a particular
field, the delimiter will still be included in the response. The following five fields are
allocated for each measured feature:
Field 1 — Check Name, 8 ASCII Characters
Field 2 — Check Value, 5 - 8 ASCII Characters
Field 3 — Scale Type, 2 ASCII Characters (in. or mm)
Field 4 — Check Status, 0 - 7 ASCII Characters
Field 5 — Check Class, 0 - 8 ASCII Characters
The data packet can vary in length depending on the number of features programmed in
the Accu-Setter. Each data packet will end with a and
character. (HEXcode and
