following:
Select the indicated option, and manage submenus and parameters as required.
6.6.2 Address (INIt > CoMM > USb, EtHN, SER > AddR)

selected device. The Omega protocol supports an optional address field which is required for
Serial channels configured for RS485.

6.6.1.1 ASCII Parameters (INIt > CoMM > USb, EtHN, SER
> PRot > oMEG)
ModE – Choose the Mode for initiating ASCII data transfer:
o CMd – Data is sent after receiving a prompt command from the
connected device (factory default).
o CoNt – Data is sent as it is collected; setting the seconds between
data sends (###.#), default = 001.0. In Continuous Mode, sending a
CTRL/Q to the unit suspends transmission and sending a CTRL/S
restarts transmission.
dAt.F – Data Format; select yES or No for the following settings:
o StAt – Alarm status bytes are sent with the data
o RdNG – Sends the process reading
o PEAk – Sends the highest process reading so far
o VALy – Sends the lowest process reading so far
o UNIt – Sends the unit with the value (F, C, V, mV, mA)
_LF_ – Select yES or No; yES sends a line feed between each data block to
format the output in a more readable fashion.
ECHo – Select yES or No; yES echoes each received command to allow
verification.
SEPR – Determines the separation character between each data block:
o _CR_ – A carriage return sent between data blocks (factory
default).
o SPCE – A space character is sent between each data block.
