Field Test Unit Software 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this documentation is to describe the function and opera- tion of the Model 6401B Field Test Unit in conjunction with UNIDATA’s Portable Data Logger. This document is aimed at the inexperienced user who is unfamiliar with the Field Test Unit (FTU). The Portable Data Logger and Field Test Uni[...]

Field Test Unit Software Blocks 4 onwards (location 1024 to the end of memory) are reserved for logger data storage. Bytes are logged sequentially, without gaps, and the number of bytes logged per log interval will depend on the PDL program. 1.2 FIELD TEST UNIT The Field Test Unit (FTU) is a battery powered, Intel 8085 based microcomputer with resi[...]

6. NFTU COMMANDS The program NFTU is a simple Field Test Unit program which will com- municate with the Model 6003 Data Logger and display (or alter) the Data Logger memory contents. This Software Package is unsupported by UNIDATA. This means that the software is supplied ‘as is’ and UNIDATA does not intend to correct any errors or make further[...]

Field Test Unit Software 6.1.3 P COMMAND The P command allows you to PUT new data to memory. Only one byte location may be altered at a time. The location altered is the first byte dis- played (the one indicated by the status line). The new value must be between 0 and 255. Use the ‘S & D’ keys to step backwards and forwards to adjacent loca[...]

Field Test Unit Software 7. FTUC COMMANDS 7.1 DISPLAY FORMAT The display of the FTU has three formats available. These formats can be selected at the touch of a button. Normally as many bytes as possible are dis- played on the screen at all times. For example - if you were displaying the contents of the logger memory as single bytes then four bytes[...]

Field Test Unit Software 7.3 USER DEFINED SCREEN FORMAT This screen format allows the user to set up and save a custom designed for- mat for a specific application. This routine is initialised by pressing the "E" key. The FTU will then prompt the user to enter in : Offset, th i s is to s el e ct the chosen memory byte to be displayed or a[...]

Field Test Unit Software entered. The FTU will then prompt with “Max Value?”. The maximum desired value for the scaling should then be entered. The F T U will now only display values from the minimum to maximum for the selected memory loca- tion/s. After responding to the above prompts the FTU will prompt “Using #####” This is a feature tha[...]

The SPACEBAR will reset the screen to its initial state. 7.6 SCREEN FORMAT FILES The FTU-PROM has a feature that allows a custom designed screen format file. Af[...]

Field Test Unit Software 7.7.2 “T” - T I M E This command enables the user to check and/or reset the logger’s time and date. The Canon X - 07’s date and time MUST be set accurately for this pro- cedure. If the Canon’s time/date needs to be changed type “t” to reset it, (see below under X-07 Commands). EXAMPLE: Press “T” FTU displa[...]

Field Test Unit Software 7.7.4 “r” - RESET * This command resets the logger data storage to an original state. All data is lost and the logger starts logging immediately. 7.7.5 “j” & “a” - JUMP TO LOG & ADDRESS toggle * These two commands are used together to view data in the logger memory. By pressing “j” the user can acces[...]

Field Test Unit Software 7.8.2 “F” - FREE This command will display all files held in RAM and available memory. (See X-07 manual for more details). 7.8.3 “Q” - QUIT Pressing this key will return the X-07 to BASIC. 7.8.4 “b” - BAUD This command will allow the user to set the FTU’s c ommunication baud rate. The default is 8000 baud. Use[...]
