7.6.4.1 Buffer Control
The first parameter of Edlog Instruction 126 (P126) is called buffer control.
Buffer control has two purposes: 1) to determine which buffer data is written
to, and 2) if the buffer is erased before data is written. The TX320 has two
independent buffers, one for self-timed transmissions and one for random
transmissions. The self-timed buffer is treated differently than the random
buffer. After a self-timed transmission, the data is erased from the self-timed
buffer. After a random transmission, the data in the random buffer is
scheduled to be transmitted again. Random transmissions are repeated at
random intervals until P126 is used to “Clear Random Buffer” or the random
transmission repeat count has been met. The random buffer repeat count is set
in the Device Configuration Utility Settings Editor | Configuration. Default
is zero, which specifies that random transmission will occur on the interval
until the random buffer is cleared by the host.
7.6.4.2 Data Format
The second parameter of P126 is used to format the data. The data is formatted
as P126 copies data from the datalogger to the transmitter.
