---|---|---|
GOESComPort
|
GOES COM Port | Port used to communicate with the GOES transmitter. |
GOESEnabled
|
GOES Enabled | Controls whether the data loggers polls the GOESComPort to see if a TX325 radio is attached to it. With the default setting of 0 (not enabled), the data logger ignores all other GOES settings. A value of 1 enables the setting. |
|
GOES Antenna Gain |
Specifies the maximum specified gain (in dbi) for the antenna minus the loss in the cable connecting the TX325 to the antenna. The maximum value is 14 dBi for 300 bps transmissions and 20 dBi for 1200 bps transmissions. The default value of 0 assumes the antenna has the same effective gain as the Yagi antenna used for certification. The TX325 sets the output power so that the EIRP is close to, without exceeding, the maximum EIRP. Maximum permitted EIRP for GOES V2 is 41 dBm for 300 bps and 47 dBm for 1200 bps transmissions. |
GOESMsgWindow
|
Self Timed TX Options> TX Window |
Length, in seconds, of the assigned self-timed transmission window assigned by |
GOESPlatformID
|
GOES Platform ID | 8-digit hexadecimal identification number assigned by |
GOESRTBaudRate
|
Random TX Options> BAUD Rate |
Baud rate for the random transmissions. |
GOESRTChannel
|
Random TX Options> Channel |
|
GOESRTInterval
|
Random TX Options> TX Rate | Average time between random transmissions. The value is a string entered in the format of Hours:Minutes:Seconds. Typically, the assigned interval is in hours, so the minutes and seconds parameters are left at 0. For example, “01:00:00” setups up an hourly interval. Maximum interval is 24 hours; minimum interval is 1 minute. |
GOESSTBaudRate
|
Self Timed TX Options> BAUD Rate |
Baud rate for self-timed transmissions. |
GOESSTChannel
|
Self Timed TX Options> Channel |
|
GOESSTInterval
|
Self Timed TX Options> TX Rate |
Time between self-timed transmissions. The value is a string entered in the format of Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds. Typically, the assigned interval is in hours, so the days, minutes and seconds parameters are left at 0. For example, "00:01:00:00" sets up an hourly interval. Maximum interval is 14 days; minimum interval is 1 minute. |
GOESSTOffset
|
Self Timed TX Options> TX Offset Time |
Time after midnight for the first self-timed transmission as assigned by |
GOESRepeatCount
|
Random TX Options> Repeat Count | Number of times within the random transmit interval that the TX325 will transmit the message data. Valid entries are 1 to 3. |
|
Adjust this setting if you do not want the data logger to use the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is used by the GPS antenna. The data logger automatically syncs to the GPS time. Specify the offset in seconds. |
