4.3.9.1 End Device Parameters (continued)
Update (Seconds): How often this End Device is sending its data to the Meter. The default shown "update second" is 120 seconds. This update corresponds to the sampling rate configured by using the Configuration Wizard. For detailed steps on how to configure the sampling rate, please refer to Section 4.1 of the UWTC Manual. Non zero update rate will enable success calculation and lost detection features. Update rate should reflect the actual blinking interval in order to enhance the accuracy of success calculation and lost detection.
Update on the webpage means how often the Meter expects a reading coming from a End Device. The Meter uses this Update to detect lost condition and calculate success rate. It is purely used by the Meter only, and the End Device does not recognize the Update on the webpage. Therefore, changing Update will not change the actual sample rate stored on the End Device.
For a more accurate success rate and lost packet information, it is necessary to keep the "Update" time, the same as the "Sampling Rate" of the UWTC End Device.
Sensor 1
This is the field to modify the parameters for the process sensor.
Remote Display Format: Remote display format is for Server Type continuous mode. It basically defines the way the data is shown on a Remote Display. The default value is 0000000F. This means that the value will be displayed up to 7 digits, followed by the unit of F, for a maximum of 8 characters. Any letters before and/or after the number will be displayed accordingly. Keep in mind that the displayed letters will take away from the available 8 characters.
Make sure that you have enough 0’s to display the entire temperature value. Any extra 0’s will be ignored. If there is no temperature unit, then the unit will be read from the "Input" menu of the Controller Setup.
Remote End Char: The default value is 0D (Hex representation of <CR>). This means that the Meter sends <CR> after each temperature reading. This will be done either in Continuous or Command mode.
This is how the data will appear on the host with 0D assigned:
