Overview
Quick Start
When OneSix is run for the first time it displays this help screen. You may view this
help screen again by selecting "Help" from OneSix's main window.
OneSix is designed to gather data from sensors. OneSix makes available the data it
receives from each sensor through OPC tags.
The Main OneSix™ Server window will show the total number of devices in the
startup list and how many of those that are online. The offline devices will be shown
in the list box at the bottom of the window.
OneSix™ can be a stand-alone data logger. When data logging is enabled, OneSix™
will store collected data in an ASCII file at a programmable interval. See section
"OneSix Server Data Logging".
This Help and all other Help topics may be accessed from the main window by
selecting Help or pressing F1.
Setup
xPlug the reciever into your serial port
xStart OneSix.
xIf necessary, tell OneSix what kind of Receiver you are using.
xWhen the "Add Wireless Device" screen appears, press the service
mode button on your transmitter to transmit a packet that OneSix can
see.
xWhen a device appears in the window, you may click to select it and
then press the 'Edit' button to change its label name and transmit time.
xPress OK to add these sensors to the OneSix list
xOneSixOPC will create OPC tag objects for each device and start
polling and gathering data from each device.

2xOverview OneSix Server Help
If there is not an OneSixOPC.ini file or if [Server]NumberDevices 0 and when
OneSix™starts, it will automatically prompt for devices on the network and add them
to its list of devices to process.
Description
OneSix™is a data acquisition OLE for Process Control (OPC) server that acquires
data from devices and passes this data using OPC to a client application. OneSix
waits for the device to transmit and then processes the transmission.
Any Windows® application that can use OPC can obtain this data from the
OneSix™Server. Examples of such applications include Wonderware® Intouch,
National Instruments® LookOut, and general development applications like
Microsoft® Visual Basic and Borland® Delphi.
OneSix™can be a stand-alone data logger. When data logging is enabled,
OneSix™will also store collected data in an ASCII file at a programmable interval.
Another program such as a spreadsheet or a database manager can import the data.
See section "OneSix Server Data Logging".
OneSix Server can receive transmissions from wireless devices such as the wireless
temperature transmitter. Other devices include the wireless humidity sensor and
wireless analog input. OneSix uses a wireless receiver such as the Point Repeater,
the Point Host or the PointView Receiver to receive transmissions from wireless
sensors. OneSix can also use multiple TCP/IP Receivers (Point Managers in Pass-
Thru mode) to receive data through TCP/IP connection.
When setting up a wireless network, OneSix passively waits for transmissions instead
of actively polling for devices. This can make the acquisition of sensors take a
longer time than for a wired network as OneSix must wait for the device to transmit.
You can speed up this process by pressing the service button on the device so that it
transmits while you are in the “Add Sensors” screen.
Each device has an entry in the device's INI file section. Each device has a
"repeateraddress" attribute. When running OneSix with a Point Repeater, the
Repeater ID is stored in the "repeateraddress" entry. The value in the
"repeateraddress" indicates which Point Repeater sent the sensor information With
all other wireless receivers, the "repeateraddress" is set to 0. Finally, the INI entry
and OPC tag "Polltime" for each device has a different meaning when working with
wireless transmitters. OneSix cannot poll the wireless sensors. It must wait for a
transmission. Therefore, OneSix uses polltime to estimate how frequently a
transmission should come from a device. It also uses a multipler of this time to
determine if a device is offline. This multipler is configurable by the user.
Setup Described
OneSix will display the “Add Sensors” screen when it starts for the first time. The
setup screen is the method by which OneSix acquires wireless devices. The default
on the setup screen is to accept only packets that are sent in service mode from the
device (the packet is sent by pressing the service button on the device.) To change
this default, uncheck the "Service Mode Only" checkbox. OneSix will then display
all the packets it receives. When OneSix receives a packet from a device new to it, it
names the device following the naming conventions detailed below, and it displays
the device's name and serial number in the window.
You have several options after the device has been displayed. The "Clear New"
button will clear all the devices that have just been received. The "Delete" button

OneSix Server Help Overview x3
will delete a single device. Click on a device to select it and click on "Delete" to
delete it. To edit a device click on the device to select it and click on "Edit" to edit
the device. There is also a "Stop" button. If you click that button, OneSix will stop
listing devices in the window. When you click on the "Stop" button it becomes a
"Receive" button. If you click on that, OneSix will start receiving packets and listing
devices again.
When you are ready, hit "OK", or "Cancel" to exit.
Edit Device
The Edit screen for a new wireless device shows the device's serial number, which
the user cannot change, the device's current Label, which can be changed by the
user, and the Transmit Rate for the device. The Label cannot be the same as the label
used by any current device. The Transmit Rate is in seconds. The default value is
60. OneSix uses the Transmit Rate to determine if a device has gone offline.
Receivers
The following is a list of the receivers that OneSix can use:
xPoint View Receiver
xPoint Host Receiver
xPoint Integrator Logger –select "Point Host Receiver" from the "Select
Communication Port" screen
xPoint Repeater and Repeater III –select "Point Host Receiver" and set
the TZR baud rate to 19,2000.
xTCP/IP Receiver (Point Manager in “Pass-Thru” mode)

4xOverview OneSix Server Help
Device List
OneSix™ Server interfaces to a large number of devices. New devices are
continually being created for the Wireless network. Check with your distributor for
the latest.
The following is a list of devices supported by OneSix™ Server:
Point Sensor Temperat ure
Point Sensor Temp/Humidity
Point Sensor Analog 5V
Point Sensor Analog 10V
Point Sensor Analog 20mA
Point Probe
Point Sensor Pressure
Point Sensor DSCI
Point Sensor IR Counter
Point Sensor Thermistor
Point Sensor Counter Temperature
Point Sensor Fast Counter Temperature
Point Sensor Alarm Temperature
Point Access/Control Reader
Point Directional Counter
Point Dual Discrete Output
Point Analog Output
Polling
The polltime has a slightly different meaning for wireless sensors. OneSix does not
actively poll wireless devices. Rather, it waits to receive a packet from the devices.
Therefore, the polltime is how often OneSix expects to receive a packet from the
wireless devices.
The polltime for a wireless device is configurable during device setup. OneSix will
use this time to determine when to mark a device offline. OneSix has a INI file
parameter called "Tries" that sets how long a device has to transmit before it is
considered offline. For example, if the device has a polltime of 1 minute, and
OneSix has "tries" set to 3, then OneSix will consider the device offline if it does not
receive a packet from that device in 3 minutes ("tries" times "polltime").
Identification
OneSix™identifies each device with a unique label name. A client application uses
this label (an OPC topic) to obtain data from the server.

OneSix Server Help Overview x5
Filtering
For both analog and temperature devices, OneSix™allows the user to define a
deadband to control the amount of change that must occur before the server updates a
Client with new data. Deadband is useful to control the amount of information that is
passed through OPC to the client application. For analog devices, the deadband is
entered as the percentage of full scale of Engineering units. For temperature devices,
the deadband is entered in degrees C.
Also for both analog and temperature devices, One Six™ provides the means to filter
the data with either an Average, Median or combination Median Average filter
before either logging data or delivering data through OPC. In the One Six INI file,
you specify the filter type and the number of samples to filter.
What is OPC?
OLE for Process Control (OPC) is a specific specification of Microsoft’s Object
Linking and Embeddeding (OLE) and Component Object Model (COM) that is
administered by the OPC Foundation (150 member companies including Microsoft
Corporation). OPC provides a common interface for devices and applications to
communicate. Devices that gather or originate data become OPC servers, providing
data to OPC client applications in a consistent fashion. At the heart of OPC is the
client/server model in which the OPC server provides and interface to the OPC
object, allowing client applications to control devices and manage device data in a
generic fashion. OPC servers can be accessed through most HMI software and
through a variety of languages, including C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi. The OPC
server collects data from physical devices for distribution to OPC client applications
and also has the responsibility for updating device data when an OPC client issues a
write.
An OPC client connects to and communicates with an OPC server through one of two
interfaces defined in the OPC specification. The OLE automation interface allows
users to access data through the use of a common, easily understood scripting
language. The COM interface is more complex, but provides finer levels of control
and flexibility for developers and users proficient in languages such as C or C++.
OPC client applications can access OPC servers locally within a computer or from a
networked server.
Data Logging
OneSix™ Server can log data to an ASCII file at a programmable interval. The
default name of the file is ONESIX.LOG.
A client application can control logging through OPC variables. The client can
start/stop logging or just log a single record.
For diagnostic purposes, OneSix™ can log errors that have occurred while waiting
or process device data.
For more information see the section OneSix Server Data Logging.

6xOverview OneSix Server Help
Diagnostics
With OneSix™, you can monitor the health of your wireless and the devices attached.
OneSix™reports through OPC errors that it encounters while polling devices. These
errors can be noted in an event error log. See the section called "Server Item Names"
for more information.

OneSix Server Help OneSix Main Window x7
OneSix Main Window
Main Window
OneSix™displays the number of devices online and offline. It also lists the devices
that are currently offline displaying the name and serial number of the device. If
OneSix™ is running with TCP/IP receivers, then for each offline device it will
display the node address, name and serial number of the device.
Setup
OneSix™simplifies setup by automatically finding, identifying and beginning to poll
devices in a network. OneSix™assumes default initial values. You can easily change
these values by editing the ONESIXOPC.INI file with an ASCII text editor. (The
installation program for OneSix™Server created a short cut to the ONESIXOPC.INI
file. Double clicking will automatically start WordPad or Notepad.) See the section
"OneSix Server .INI File Format".
Change Port
The Change Port submenu allows you to switch to another wireless receiver port.
When the Change Port submenu is selected, OneSix™displays the Select
Communication Port window. Choose one of the following:
AUTO -instructs OneSix™ to search Port Numbers 1 to 4 for the
PointView Receiver.
PointView Receiver
Point Host
TZR Transceiver –(Point Transceiver) –make sure the TZR baud rate is
set to 19200.
TCP/IP Receiver –uses a receiver that uses the TCP/IP protocol to receive
sensor packet data. (Point Manager in “pass-thru” mode).
When OK is clicked, OneSix™ tries to initialize the port. For the PointView and
TCP/IP Receivers, OneSix confirms that the receiver is present. For the Point Host
and the TZR Transceiver, OneSix assumes the receiver is present. If OneSix™ fails,
OneSix™ displays the OneSix Initializing Error Window allowing you to retry, select
another port or exit OneSix™. If OneSix™succeeds, OneSix™starts listening and
processing sensor packets.

Outputs
OneSix can send output packets to output devices. (Normally sensors do not receive
packets) Output devices must be setup manually. Some Outputs need to be “trained”
to the packets that it will receive for from the Server.
New and Edit
Create or edit an Output object to manage an Output sensor. The following
describe the parameters necessary to set up an Output sensor.
Type –“Dual Discrete Outputs” or “12 bit Analog Output”. Select the type
of Output sensor. Note changeable only for the Edit Output window.
Serial Number –Some Outputs sensors can “learn” a serial number. Others
have the serial number preassigned and must be entered in the field.
These sensors have the serial number labeled. For those sensors that
must learn their serial number, OneSix creates a default serial number.
Press the “Generate New Serial Number” button to generate a new
serial number.
Label –name assigned for this Output sensor. The label name is used for
the OPC topic name. This name must be unique. For the Edit Window,

list. You can also change the label for the current Output.
Node –This field applies only when using the TCP/IP Receiver. The Node
List box contains a list of the TCP/IP Receivers to send the output
packet to. For the “Send All” selection, OneSix will send the packet to
all the TCP/IP Receivers.
Dual Discrete Outputs
Send when output B is written –If checked, OneSix will only send the
output packet only when the “outputB” item is written to. Output A is
first written to and the output B. If unchecked, OneSix will send the
output packet when either the “outputA” or “outputB” items are written
to. The state both outputs are sent in the same packet.
12 bit Analog Output
Scale –the scale to apply to the raw reading (12 bits: 0 to 4095).
Offset –the offset to apply to the reading after the scale is applied.
Engeering Value Scale * raw + Offset.
