Wireless Sensor Data Format 

 
The Point Six, Inc. 418 MHz wireless analog transmitters require a compatible receiver 
with the ability to receive, error check and provide RS232 and RS422/485 interface.  This 
document describes the data format provided by the 

Point Host 

418 MHz. Receiver. 

 
The transmit packet from a receiver is approximately 15 milliseconds in duration and 
consists of 13 bytes of data: 
 
1-byte ID/Mode field 
8-byte serial number 
12-bit analog in a 16 bit word 
2-byte CRC-16 error check 
 
The Point Host receiver receives and processes this packet.  The receiver performs a 
CRC-16 error check on the packet.  If the data is not accurate it is discarded.  When a 
packet is received that is error free it is converted to a 29-character packet and 
transmitted out the serial port at 

19,200 Baud

. The data is transmitted serially in ASCII 

Hex format and terminated with a CR character. This format requires two bytes for each 
byte of data; 14 data bytes x 2=28 plus the CR is 29 characters 
 
The resulting binary data format of the packet is: 
 
1-byte ID field 

this field will contain a byte whose LSBit indicates the service 
state of the transmitter, 0=normal, 1=service mode. 

Note

 that the 

CRC-16 is calculated with the MSBit of the ID field set low, the 
data is received with the MSBit of the ID field set high.  Proper 
CRC-16 calculation requires that the MSBit be assumed to be low 
even though it is received set high. 

 
8-byte serial# 

this field contains the serial number of the 1-Wire sensor.
