FX-Class Inverter Data Stream 

This is the data stream generated for each FX-class inverter connected to the system.  This includes all variants 
on the FX such as VFX, GTFX, GVFX, and so on.   

 

The data stream for each inverter is 52 characters long.   

 

An example is 00,2,00,00,00,119,000,00,00,000,01,254,008,000,033.   

 

The items shown in Table 1 define the data stream by character.  Specific descriptions for each category 
begin on page 6.
