Output mode 5
Binary mode output, ProRF emulation
This output mode is intended to be used with applications that were designed
for the ProRF two-way radio interface system. The output from this receiver is
a small subset of the functionality from the ProRF. Since the ProScale RF
receiver is one-way only, no acknowledgment signal can be sent back to the
display.
The binary message packet reports a combination position/status message
This message packet is described below in an outline format. For detailed
information regarding the ProRF communication format, review the document
entitled: “ProRF System Definition and Communications Protocol Architecture”
