Properties |
|
Show Console |
|
Incoming File |
| File to stream incoming data from. File -> Communications component. | |
|
Parse Mode |
| Specifies the way we read in the data from the file. Detailed Byte : "z - 122 - 0x7a" Raw : "z" CSV Decimal : "122, " CSV Hex : "0x7a, " | |
|
|
Display Mode |
| Specifies the way we show the data on the console. Detailed Byte : "z - 122 - 0x7a" Raw : "z" CSV Decimal : "122, " CSV Hex : "0x7a, " | |
|
Values Per Line |
| Number of values to display on a single line of the data console. 0 = Infinite number of characters | |
|
|
Skip Timestamp |
| A file populated with data from an injector may have a timestamp built in which we may not want to receive. Yes: Skip first 22 characters of each line of data so we don't receive any of the timestamp info. No: Read data normally. | |
|
|
Outgoing File |
| File to store outgoing data. Communications component -> File | |
|
|
Clear On Init |
| No - Append to the end of the file. Yes - Empty file on initialise and start from the beginning of the file. | |
|
|
Data Mode |
| Specifies how the data is represented in the outgoing file. Detailed Byte : "z - 122 - 0x7a" Raw : "z" CSV Decimal : "122, " CSV Hex : "0x7a, " | |
|
|
Values Per Line |
| Number of values to display on a single line, applies to the file and data console. 0 = Infinite number of characters | |
|
|
Append Timestamp |
| Appends a timestamp to the beginning of every line relating to the time the first byte in the line was received. Based on the PC system time. Timestamp in the format "YY/MM/DD - HH:MM:SS - " | |
