Field Test Unit Software

3. (UN)LOAD, PLOT & COPY

The Model 6302A Software Support Package (Version V#5.0 or later) (Un)load/Plot/Copy allows information to be unloaded from a Data Logger and printed or plotted on a printer/plotter (Canon X-710) attached to the Field Test Unit (Canon X-07). In print mode, any standard 80 column printer may be used when interfaced to the FTU via the ‘Centronics’ printer interface or RS-232 communications interface.

In addition, program and data files may be transferred between cassette, RAM, Data Logger and a host computer in various formats.

3.1 STANDARD FEATURES

The (Un)load/Plot/Copy

package will:-

a)unload a Data Logger and store the resulting data in a RAM file (requires 24k) or a cassette file on a datacassette tape.

b)load a logger program from a RAM file or a cassette file into a Data Logger.

c)print the contents of an unloaded Data Logger direct or from a

RAM file or a cassette

file

in a tabular (column) format (up to

8

channels/fields

per

print)

onto a Canon X-710 printer/plotter,

a

Centronics interfaced 80 column printer or a RS-232 inter-

faced 80 column

printer.

 

d)plot the contents of a Data Logger direct or from a RAM file or a cassette file in a four color multi-plot format (up to 8 chan-

nels/fields per plot) onto a Canon X-710 printer/plotter.

e)transfer unloaded information or logger programs between a host computer and the FTU in ASCII format via an RS-232 com-

munication channel.(see Appendix A for message format).

f)transfer unloaded information or logger programs between an IBM-PC type system and the FTU in LOGGER message for- mat. (using the IBM-PC utility program “PDLIO”). Print or plot logger files direct from an IBM-PC type system (using the PDLIO utility program).

NOTE: The IBM-PC utility program PDLIO is not part of the (Un)load/Plot/Copy Software Package. Program PDLIO is included within the STARLOG Software Support Package for the IBM-PC (and
