Additional programmable features of the serial input meter are detailed in the “Command
Mode for Remote Display Operation of Counter / Timer” and “Data Formats” sections of the
Custom ASCII Protocol Serial Communications Manual. In particular, Mode 12 (hex C), which
is invoked by setting the first digit under ConFIG to C, allows extraction of data from an ASCII
string that contains multiple data values or non-numeric characters. This mode can accom-
modate selected Start and Stop characters. Any number of characters between the Start
character and the data can be masked OFF. Up to 8 display characters (including sign and
decimal point) can be masked ON. Any number of characters between the last displayed
character and the Stop character can be masked OFF.
Instrument Setup software is required to set up parameters for the Remote Display in Mode 12
(hex C). This software is downloadable from our website.
