If the Conditional Type is unchecked the Output will always be run as though the Condition statement evaluated to true The excitation port will simply be set turned on when the Task Output is run in this manner On For Scan The excitation port will turn on at the beginning of each scan and delay the entire scanning process for a time specified by setting the WarmUp Delay option After the warm up delay the normal scan process will continue This would be used for applications that require an external device to be turned on for every scan such as a motor or a pump At the end of the scan the port will be turned off O BASIC 5000 BASIC 5000 The System 5000 contains a built in BASIC interpreter as of firmware version 1 2 0 allowing for more complex operations on the data logger Many traditional BASIC commands and features have been combined with a new subset of operations to create the Basic 5000 language Basic 5000 is thus able to provide a familiar BASIC base while also providing direct access to the hardware and operations of the System 5000 More information along with descriptions and examples of available commands can be found through the Basic 5000 User Manual downloadable from the waterlog com web site All Basic programs can be used as Task Inputs Task Outputs Network and or Serial programs If undefined within the program itself see Advanced Programming with Symbols in the Basic 5000 User Manual Bas
