User-Configurable Data Messages
You can define new data messages for automatic messaging or polling
with the WMT700 profile. Each item in a user-configurable data message
string consists of 2 characters after the \ character. For example, the item
for wind speed is \ws. The maximum number of characters for a string is
80.
The characters are passed to messages as they are. All visible ASCII
characters are allowed, except for Table 19 on page 84 lists the available
items for data message strings.
For a list of the predefined data messages, see section Data Messages on
page 92.
NOTE
You can only use the user-configurable data messages with the WMT700
protocol.
Configuring Data Messages
Use the S command to define new data messages for WMT700 with the
msg1, msg2, msg3 and msg4 parameters. For more information on the S
command, see S — Set Parameter on page 74.
S y,\xx
where
y = Parameter for the data message (msg1, msg2, msg3, msg4).
\xx = String for the new data message. For the available items, see
section Items for Data Messages below.
After you have defined the new data message, you can test the message
by polling it in configuration mode. For instructions, see section POLL
— Get Message on page 80.
