Introduction / Overview The T24-PR1 is a thermal printer module that can print a 57mm wide ticket which can include data from up to 8 devices and optionally sum them. The printout can be triggered from the arrival of data from a specific device or alternatively by a handheld device which can also optionally supply the data value to print.
Getting Started To get the T24-PR1 to print live data we need an external device. This can be one or more acquisition devices or a handheld device which is already paired with an acquisition device.
T24 Toolkit The T24 Toolkit provides a means of simple configuration of the T24-PR1 and associated acquisition module along with useful tools to aid integration. Calibration of the acquisition modules is also provided. Run the T24 Toolkit software application. General Pages Setup Base Station Communications Select USB as the interface and select 1 as the Base Station Address.
We now have successful communications with the base station so we can now pair with our device or we can select the Spectrum Analyser mode or Data Provider Monitor mode. Pairing Procedure Remove power from the T24-PR1 module. • Click the Pair button on the toolkit.
The above charts show the traffic from a Wi-Fi network and it can be seen to be operating over channels 6 to 9 and it would be best (though not essential) to avoid using these channels. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24-PR1 User Manual...

It is possible to set the resolution (the smallest unit of change) of the output results by including the numeric value in the format. i.e. 00.005 would only represent the value in steps of 00.005 Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24-PR1 User Manual...
Enter a log number that is used when the <LOG> token is decoded. Each time an output is triggered this log number is incremented. This number will wrap to zero once it reaches the maximum value displayable due to the Log Digits. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24-PR1 User Manual...

You will see the token <0A> in the Output Design page when you press the enter key at the end of a line. Line Delay This is not alterable but shows the delay in milliseconds required at the end of each printed line. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24-PR1 User Manual...
You would keep both the low points at zero. Enter At High Input Value of 1000 and Display Should Read Value of 1. NOTE: This affects all inputs and sums (both gross and net). All tokens will effectively be decoded using the new scale factor. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24-PR1 User Manual...
Substitutes token with the last value received from the input. This 1.2345 <V8> will already have system zero subtracted (If a DoSysZero command has been issued.) and tare subtracted.

50Kg. By performing a system zero (with all inputs operational) this is zeroed away so next time the T24-PR1 is powered on the same input will yield a zero result. Remove System Zero Clicking this will remove all system zeros and restore all outputs normal.
Example: The same T24-PR1 is used with a truck that picks up different trailers and is required to display the sum of 4 strain gauges connected to each trailer (Using T24-SAs). Because each trailer will have a different system zero requirement we would add a further device to each trailer set to transmit the system zero value.
We need to print the gross sum of 2 devices to a printer with each time the switch input is activated on the T24-PR1. NOTE: The external button/switch option will be made available on future releases of the T24-PR1 We need to display the value of each input as well as the gross sum.
LED will go out. Now you can press the LED/Button marked LF to feed the paper one line at a time. Remember to press the SEL button again to put the printer back online to enable it to print again. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24-PR1 User Manual...

RAD24i; a small increase or reduction in antenna elevation will often improve reception. Range underwater is only a decimetre or so depending on packet rate. Best performance underwater is obtained by using low packet rates and immersing water-proofed antennae rather than water-tight enclosures containing the antennae.
