Serial Input requires additional setup and connection procedures. To prepare the M3000 for serial
input:
1. Verify that FUNCTION SETUP, >Serial Port, setup parameters match the
parameters of the serial device you intend to use.
2. Set the FUNCTION PROGRAM option for the input field that requires serial input,
as shown:
Input Source
K,B,S or X: S
3. Make sure power is OFF on both the M3000, and the serial device.
4. Connect the M3000 RS232 Serial Cable to the serial device.
5. Power ON the serial device and the M3000.
6. Create a data file and enter some sample data using the serial input device. If the
M3000 fails to accept the serial data, check FUNCTION SETUP, >Serial Port
parameters, serial device parameters, and cable connections.
NOTE: Enabling RS-232 serial input reduces battery life. To achieve maximum battery
performance, select RS-232 serial input only when actually needed.
Embedding the Data File Name in the Output
When you want to embed the 'Data File Name' in the prefix or suffix of any input field, enter /A0.
Embedding Header Information in Record Input Fields
When you want to embed the contents of a Header Input into the prefix or suffix of any record
input field, enter /A followed by the number of the header. For example:
/A1 is the reserved variable for 'Header Input 1'.
You can have from 1 to 9 header variables. The contents of one header cannot be transmitted from
within a different header using embedded header information commands.
Pause During FUNCTION TRANSMIT
You can now embed a 'Transmit Pause' that causes the M3000 to stop file transmission during
FUNCTION TRANSMIT and display:
Transmit Paused
Press Any Key
During this pause, the user can manually enter data into data base fields, or do other operations.
To resume file transmission, press any key on the M3000 keyboard.
To embed a 'Transmit Pause' enter a /FA at any of the following M3000 inputs:
Prefix Suffix
SOF Text EOF Text
SOT Text EOT Text
A program can have multiple pauses embedded at varied locations throughout program.
NOTE: Transmit pauses will not pause if using a modem or if using XMODEM
protocol, instead, you will get stray 0FAH characters.
