Model 511 User's Manual
mm - a 2-digit minute,
ss - a 2-digit second,
<cr><lf> is a carriage return, line-feed sequence.

Setting Date and Time

To set the date and time the computer must send the ASCII "s" character. The "s" is the
command to set the time. The mode of the data format is;
sMM/DD/YY•hh:mm:ss
where;
• - is an ASCII space character
s - the echoed command character
MM - a 2-digit month number (01, 12),
DD - a 2-digit ASCII day (01, 31),
YY - the last 2-digits of the year (1990 is 90),
hh - a 2-digit hour based on a 24 hour clock (00, 23),
mm - a 2-digit minute,
ss - a 2-digit second.
There must be a delay of at least 20 msec between bytes so the data receive buffer will not
overflow. When the monitor has received the complete command it will echo the date in the
format described in the section above.

Clear Trends

Clear Trends mode allows the user to remotely clear the Model 511 trend memory This
action has the same result as the monitor's Clear Trend function in that trend memory and
the Trend Page displays are cleared.
Use this remote Clear Trends function with care as there is no way to undo the clear
command once issued.
To clear the Model 511 trend memory, the computer must send an ASCII "c" character. The
Model 511 will echo the "c" followed by a <cr><lf> and then the trend memory will be
cleared.

Exit Command

To exit the NOVACOMM1 mode, the computer must send an "x" or "X" character. The
Model 511 will echo the "x" and then stop communication. Sending a new valid command
character will start communication again.
