5.17 To Record Unprintable ASCII Characters
By default, to ensure logged data can be easily read with Microsoft notepad, any un-printable
characters with an ASCII value less than 10 [0x00 to 0xff] are converted to a space character
<SP>.
To disable this modification of the data, the following SETUP.TXT command line is required:
RAW=w

If w = Y , all characters with values 0 to 255 will be logged

If w = N , characters with a value less than 10 will be logged as a space
character <SP>
5.18 To Record the Status of the Digital Input Channels
It is possible to record the status of switches connected to the 2 digital I/O terminals. To enable
recording of the switch status, the following SETUP.TXT command line may be used:
SWITCH=c

If c = Y , the following is appended to each data sample(s):
,s8,s10<CR><LF>

If c = N , the switch status is not logged
Where:

s8 is the status of the switch to ground connected to terminal 8

s10 is the status of the switch to ground connected to terminal 10

s8 and s10 are 0 if the switch is open and 1 if the switch is closed
Refer to section 4.2 and 4.4 for details of connecting the digital I/O terminals.
