Section 7. Measurement Instructions
SDMSpeed (BitPeriod)
Changes the rate that the CR800 uses to clock the SDM data. Slowing down
the clock rate may be necessary when long cables lengths are used to connect
the CR800 and SDM devices.
Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
BitPeriod
Constant or
variable
The time per bit, in microseconds.
Initial Setting (default): 26.04 µS
Resolution: 8.68 µS
Min Setting: 8.68 µS
Max Setting: 2.2 mS
SDMSpeed(30) gives: 26.04 µS
SDMSpeed(k) gives: bit_rate = INT((k*72)/625) * Resolution
When calculating SDMSpeed(k), the loggers round down to the next higher
bit.
SDMTrigger
When SDMTrigger is executed, the CR800 sends a "measure now" group
trigger to all connected SDM devices. SDM stands for Synchronous Device
for Measurement. SDM devices make measurements independently and send
the results back to the datalogger serially. The SDMTrigger instruction allows
the CR800 to synchronize when the measurements are made. Subsequent
Instructions communicate with the SDM devices to collect the measurement
results. Not all SDM devices support the group trigger; check the manual on
the device for more information.
SDMSW8A (Dest, Reps, SDMAddress, FunctOp, SW8AStartChan, Mult,
Offset)
The SW8A instruction is used to control the SDM-SW8A Eight-Channel
Switch Closure module, and store the results of its measurements to a variable
array.
Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
Dest
Variable or
Array
The variable in which to store the results of the SW8A measurement. The
variable array for this parameter must be dimensioned to the number of
Reps.
Reps
Constant
The number of channels that will be read on the SW8A. If (StartChan
+Reps –1) is greater than 8, measurement will continue on the next
sequential SW8A. In this instance, the addresses of the SDM devices must
be consecutive.
SDMAddress
Constant
The address of the first SW8A with which to communicate. Valid SDM
addresses are 0 through 15. If the SDMTrigger instruction is used in the
program, address 15 should not be used. If the Reps parameter used more
channels than are available on the first SW8A, the datalogger will increment
the SDM address for each subsequent device that it communicates with.
