FORMCACHING

1:YES

2:NO

OTHER:EXIT

You will need to enter Supervisor mode and select "4.FORM" category in order to set the configuration of

FormCaching (refer to the HT630 Programming Reference Manual for how to enter the Supervisor mode).

After selecting the "4.FORM" in Supervisor mode, the screen will show as above. The system will first ask

user to specify four categories of the field specification including field prompt, data length, data type and

device type of each data field. After completion to define all data fields, the user should hit [CMD] then

[ALPHA] keys to end the setup of field specification. This step also determines the number of fields in each

record and you may continue to set the rest six categories of record specification including between field, field

delimiter, record delimiter, date stamp field, time stamp field and field delay.

When the FormCaching application is executed, a data file named FORM.DAT will be created to store data.

The system will not allow the user to redefine FormCaching if the FORM.DAT is existed. It is necessary to

delete the FORM.DAT in order to change the configuration of FormCaching.

When FormCaching is enabled, the built-in application can be run by selecting "2.TER" command in User mode

and then select "2.FORMCACHING". The FormCaching application will follow the setting as defined to display

prompting, get input and store data in the file named FORM.DAT. Hit [CMD] then [ALPHA] keys to end

FormCaching and return to system Ready mode. User may use [ ] key to browse a previous data record, [ ] key

to step to next record, press [C] key to clear the record and then input new value of every field of this record.

After collecting data, the FORM.DAT file can be uploaded to host either by invoking Kermit server in User

mode described in section 3.2 or remote ESC command described in 3.4.

In default, the FormCaching is initialized with settings as shown in the table below.

DATA FIELD SPECIFICATION: field number=2
