Configuration
Once it has been determined how many modules are feeding data to this module you need to record the Data
Tag that each of these modules are attaching to their Data Provider packets.
These Data Tags are then entered into the ValueDataTagx parameters. Once the rate at which this data arrives is
known you can enter the Timeoutx values.
Leave unused ValueDataTagx parameters with a value of zero to ensure that they are not checked for timeouts
and do not contribute to gross or net sums.
When a data provider packet arrives whose Data Tag matches one of those in the ValueDataTagx parameters the
value it contains will be placed in the Valuex parameter.
If data does not arrive from a module within the Timeoutx period then any reference to either the individual Vx
tokens or one of the summing tokens will result in ------ rather than a numeric value.
The actual serial output can now be constructed using Line1 to Line25. These parameters take text into which
you can insert tokens. When a 'Print' is generated these lines are parsed and tokens replaced with the values they
represent and the resulting data sent to the serial port.
A 'Print' is generated by either activating the switch input when SwitchMode is set to zero or by receiving a Data
Provider packet whose Data Tag matches the PrintDataTag parameter.
When a 'Print' is executed each of the parameters Line1 to Line 25 will be parsed. Every token will be evaluated
and replaced with the live value.
Getting Started
To associate transmitter modules with the T24-SO you must first ensure that the appropriate modules are
transmitting their values at a suitable rate such as the default of 3 per second. Then you can configure the T24-SO
module to use the data from these transmitters.
Configuration must be done with the T24 Toolkit software and a base station.
Serial output is triggered by one of the following:
The digital input (switch input) which may trigger an output/print or tare the summed value.
Arrival of a data packet identified with a Data Tag that matches what the T24-SO uses to trigger an
output/print.
Arrival of a command to trigger an output/print or to tare or zero etc.
