!PORT 127.0.0.1,9001
Opens the Configuration
window to configure the port on which StampPlot will connect. This may be
a serial or TCP via the TCP-Serial Gateway.
Connected
!CONN ON/OFF
Opens the connection to specified port. On connect, the queue
is emptied. For that reason it should be the last instruction in a
configuration routine.
Plot Data
!PLOT ON/OFF
Enables plotting of incoming data. Plotting must be enabled to
process incoming analog data. To disable automatic plotting of the data,
enable Use Analog Data for Macro Only, !USEA ON.
Reset Plot
!RSET
Reset the plot deleting all data points in memory. Constant
drawings (@) will NOT be deleted.
Refresh Plot
!REFR
Redraws the data on the plot.
Max based on time
!MAXT
Configures StampPlot to reset and begin a new plot when the data reaches
the maximum time shown on the plot. If maximum data points (!PNTS value)
are reached first and flushing is NOT enabled (!FLUSH ON/OFF), the plot will
reset prior to maximum time. If shifting is enabled (!SHFT ON/OFF) the
plot will NOT reset.
Max based on data points
!MAXP
(Default) Configures StampPlot to reset and begin a new plot when the
maximum data points are reached (!PNTS value). If data flushing is enabled
(!FLSH ON/OFF) the plot will not reset.
Stop at max
!MAXS ON/OFF
Configures StampPlot to disable plotting when the maximum is reached, whether
points or time.
Shift Left at Max
!SHFT ON/OFF
Configures StampPlot to shift the plot to the left when the maximum time
is reached. The amount of the shift may be defined (!SAMT value) in
percent.
Flush old Data Points
!FLSH ON/OFF
StampPlot only holds a certain amount of data in memory for re-drawing
or saving plots defined by the number of data points (!PNTS value). Once
the maximum number of points are reached, StampPlot rests the plot by
default. Flushing enables the oldest data to be 'flushed' from memory for continuous
plotting. The amount of data to flush may be specified by as a percentage
the total. !FAMT 50 (25% by default).
Advanced:
 | ASCII Error Trap
!ERRT ON/OFF
To perform simple error checking of incoming data, ASCII characters
of < 20, excluding 10 and 13, will trigger StampPlot to neglect the
string and issue an error message in the log window. This may be
disabled if a string contains special characters. |
| Clear Constant Drawings
!CLRC
Clears and constant (@) drawings from the plot. |
| Clear Queue
!CLRQ
Clears the queue of current data to be processed. When data
arrives very quickly, this instruction can used in macro or object code to
keep the queue up to date with new data. |
| Use Binary Data
!USEB ON/OFF
Configures StampPlot to accept data arriving as binary data instead
of ASCII characters. Please see the discussion on Binary
and Special Data Strings. |
| Number of Bytes
!NUMB value
Defines the number of bytes that make up a packet of binary
data. This value does not include a checksum value. Please see
the discussion on Binary and Special Data Strings. |
| Use Binary Checksum
!CSUM ON/OFF
Configures StampPlot to use a checksum value when using binary
data. Please see the discussion on Binary
and Special Data Strings. |
| Use Special Parse Delimiter
!PARS ON/OFF
By default, StampPlot processes multiple analog values by
parsing the string based on a comma. This option allows for special
characters to be used in parsing the data. |
| Special Parse Delimiter
!PCHR character
Defines the character to use as a delimiter when using specially
parsed data. |
| Flush Amount
!FAMT value
Defines in a percentage the amount of old data points to flush from
memory when the maximum number is reached for continuous plotting. The
value is 25 by default. |
| Shift Plot Amount
!SAMT value
Defines the amount in percent that the plot should shift by when the
maximum time is reached when shifting is enabled (!SHFT ON/OFF). The
value is 50 by default. |
| Plot Mode
 | 0-100 Graduated area
!PMOD 0
The drawing instructions may be used to draw on the plot area. In
this mode, the absolute coordinates are 0-100 and 0-100 of the graduated
area starting with 0,0 at the bottom-left. Values outside of this
range may be used to place drawings outside the graduated area. |
| 0-255 Full Area
!PMOD 1
In this mode the drawing is is the entire plot area with 0,0 in
bottom-left and 255,255 in upper right for absolute coordinates. |
| Right Graphics Gap
!RGAP ON
A pre-version 3 means of making more room on the plot for special
drawings. Creates a drawing gap at the right of graduated area. |
| Top Graphics Gap
!TGAP ON
A pre-version 3 means of making more room on the plot for special
drawings. Creates a drawing gap at the top of graduated area. |
|
| Show redrawing
Displays data as it is re-drawn or refreshed on the plot. |
| Square digital lines
!SQRD ON/OFF
Configures StampPlot to square digital traces or to show
transitions as slanted lines indicating the exact time of transition was not
known. |
