Note: The length of the line depends on how many characters your
screen or printer has per line, or the width of the page.
Message ID
Every record begins with the Message ID that consists of an asterisk
(*) and the report type. *D denotes a Display (Matrix) report. The
Message ID is always followed by one ASCII space.
Date
The date of the report is shown in MM/DD/YY format. The Series 1
uses a zero as a column place holder, so the date will always be eight
characters long. The date is always followed by one ASCII space.
Time
The time of the report is shown in HH:MM:SS format. Time is in 24-
hour format. The Series 1 uses a zero as a column place holder, so the
time will always be eight characters long. The time is always
followed by one ASCII space.
Channel
The channel is a single digit from 1 to 6 and is the channel from
which the displayed measurement was read. The channel is always
followed by a colon (:).
Mode/Unit
The modes or units are represented by an abbreviation. Refer to
Table 3-9 on page 3-26 for abbreviations. The Mode/Unit is always
followed by an equals sign (=).
