Bay Technical Associates V79 PDI-1, V80 PDI-2 owner manual Report Start Time

When Schedule Reporting Method is selected, the PDI will begin reporting event samples as events occur at the programmed Report Start Time (see Section 5.1.4.2). The Report Start Time is programmable up to 24 hours in advance of the current (time-of-day) clock time. Event samples are stored in the buffer until the Report Start Time is reached at which time all buffered event samples are reported to the host module. Further reporting is based upon the selected Report Interval as explained in Section 5.1.4.3.

5.1.4.2 REPORT START TIME

By responding to the Enter Selection: message at the end of the Reporting Setup Menu on page 23 with "2" (Report Start Time), you may program the time the PDI will start reporting when using Schedule Reporting Method. The PDI will respond with the Report Start Time menu as follows:

REPORT START TIME
Reporting Start Time	HH:MM
Current Date and Time	MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Enter Hours (0-24) <cr>, or X to Exit:

Enter Minutes (0-59) <cr>, or X to Exit:

This menu shows the current Reporting Start Time, Current Date and Time as reported by the base unit's time-of day clock when the reporting start time entry was selected, and prompts you to enter the desired Report Start Time. Reporting can be delayed up to 24 hours from the current time.

Enter the desired Report Start Time. For example, suppose the Current Time is 9:20:30 and the Reporting Start Time is set to 10:45. After you exit the Configuration Main Menu, the PDI will start reporting event samples at 10:45 at the programmed Sampling Setup. If the M Series loses power, reporting resumes the next time the designated Report Start Time is observed by the time-of day clock.
