When enabling or disabling DSD,
you will be prompted to clear the
DSD database records before the
change is allowed. Be sure to
download any stored data before
proceeding.

The database also contains a count of how many columns are defined for
the database. If this number does not match what the indicator expects,
then no functionality of the database is available. This would be expected
if new data columns were added in the future and the database being used
did not match the firmware being used. This problem requires placing the
database into a indicator with the appropriate firmware, or initializing the
database memory (P65001 or P65010) or disabling the database. Note
that if no data records exist, the storage will automatically be released and
reallocated, using the current indicators database structure.
Disabling the DSD database (P590) causes all storage allocated for the
database to be released, meaning the data is lost.

Each DSD database row includes a checksum for data integrity. The
checksum will be verified each time a row is accessed. If the accessed
row fails it checksum test, a error message will be displayed. When
printing or downloading, the next line sent will be an error message.

P590: DSD Enable
Enables the Data Storage Device feature (DSD) and provides access to
the other DSD parameters (P591 à P595).
Enabling DSD will override P806 to redefine the [ID] key to invoke the
DSD Menu. It will also redefine P205 as the DSD receive mode for the
specified DSD communication port.
P591: DSD Serial Port
Selects the communication port to be used for DSD transmissions.
The usage of the DSD port selected at P591 can be temporarily
overridden by usage of the %H macro command. If the selection is turned
off, then no DSD transmits or receives will occur. If the port number is
changed, then the new port will be used.
Nothing prevents other indicator transmissions from being sent over the
DSD port. No other processing of received data will occur on this port.
Note that if a comm port selected is programmed as receive disabled,
selecting it does not turn the port on, no data will be received.
P592: DSD Receive Character
Specifies a single character used to create a row in the DSD database
when received on the DSD communication port.
P593: DSD Custom Transmit
Specifies a custom transmit used to automatically transmit DSD data after
a row has been created in the DSD database. The custom transmit
specified will not allow non-DSD parameter entries. Transmission will be
motion delayed by virtue of the stored data row. The custom transmit
communication port can be specified at P991.
