The OTT PLS 500 sends meta data for the related measured
value
<valueX> 5) in the form of three data fields. These
commands do not start a measurement!

<field1>
) and the unit designa-
tions (
<field2>
) correspond to the "SHEF" standard (see
"Standard Hydrometeorological Exchange Format (SHEF) –
Code Manual" of the "National Weather Service".
