B-12 248083387-1 Rev 10
Note:
Only Particle data
types have numbers in
their strings.
Particle data items are typed specially. They contain numbers,
sometimes a space and sometimes a period used as a decimal point.
These entries are used to identify particle channel sizes and are always
expressed in microns. These types represent raw counts only.
Data Units Registers
The 42xxx register series identifies the units used by data items in the
30xxx series. These registers run in parallel with the Data Registers.
For example, Data Register 30010’s Units Register is 42010.
Note:
Not all data types
have units.
LWS Particle Counters
may use units not on the
table.
Units are stored as 4 character ASCII strings across 2 registers. If the
Units string contains less than 4 characters or no characters at all, the
rest of the string is padded with NULLs.
The table below shows units that may be sent by the device. Some of
these units are not currently used but are reserved for future use.
