Miscellaneous
Info

Relevant Notes
Hardware:

Maximum CHANNELS Supported: 8



PERFORMANCE:

Customers should be encouraged to use as many channels as

possible when they have a large number of Met One devices

to talk to. It is also strongly recommended to have a huge

delay and fewer number of retries when they have many

devices offline on the same channel.



CABLING:

Consult your Met One Users Manual for information.



UNSOLICITED MESSAGES:

Not Supported on Windows NT or Windows 95



NOTE:

The Analog Multiplexer returns a maximum value of 4095 and

hence LIN signal conditioning scales accordingly.

History

Revision History
Reason for 6.01 release on 11/14/1996:
* Built to incorporate changes made in the Windows driver.

Reason for 6.01a release on 08/02/1999:
* Corrected the problem of a device failing on one channel affecting the polling of devices on other channels.

Reason for 6.01b release on 01/27/2006:
* When the device CTL (control bit) was cleared, the command to set the device to StandBy mode was being sent repeatedly, without a delay between messages. The customer's device required a delay of at least 1.5 seconds between command messages. The Channel Delay parameter is now used to configure this delay.
* Branding changed in driver and documentation to reflect GE Fanuc.
