APIcom Instruction Manual iDAS Configuration and Data Access
Tab Property Description
Enable Channel If checked, the channel will store records. If unchecked, the
channel will not store records. This property can disable a
channel without having to delete it.
Hold Off If checked, this channel will not store any records during the
hold off interval (calibration period). If unchecked, this
channel will store records regardless of the hold off state.
Print Reports If checked, this channel will print each record that it stores to
the RS-232 interface (and dump is to e.g. a Terminal
program). If unchecked, it will store the record but not print it.
When APIcom is connected to the instrument, the records will
not be printed to the RS-232 interface, regardless of the
setting of this property.
Basic
(cont.)
Compact Reports If checked, records printed to the RS-232 will be printed with
up to 5 records per line. If unchecked, each record will be
printed on a separate line. This property only applies if the
Print Reports property is checked.
Start Date The date when the iDAS starts storing records. By default,
this is a date in the past, but if set to the future, the
instrument won’t start storing records until that date.
Start Time Time on the starting date when the iDAS should start storing
records.
Sample Period Number of days, hours, and minutes, measured from the
starting date and time, between each sampled data point. At
least one of the three fields of this property must be non-zero.
Report Period Number of days, hours, and minutes, measured from the
starting date and time, between each reported record. At
least one of the three fields of this property must be non-zero.
If sample period is larger or identical to the report period, the
resulting value will be an instantaneous value every report
period. If the sample period is smaller than the report period
(and the parameter is set to AVG), the resulting value is an
average over Report/Sample number of instantaneous values
every report period.
