Section 5: Software
Formatted ASCII
When FORMAT T is set to F, Data is displayed in a VT100 terminal style and will update at the set rate.
Frame=<number>
<temp 1>= <temperature> <temp 2>= <temperature> <temp 3>= <temperature> <temp 4>= <temperature>
<channel 1>= <press> <channel 2>= <press> <channel 3>= <press> <channel 4>= <press>
<channel 5>= <press> <channel 6>= <press> <channel 7>= <press> <channel 8>= <press>
<channel 9>= <press> <channel 10>= <press> <channel 11>= <press> <channel 12>= <press>
:: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::
<channel 29>= <press> <channel 30>= <press> <channel 31>= <press> <channel 32>= <press>
If
UNITS
is set to an engineering unit value; <press> will be a value in EU, <temperature> will be in °C.
If
UNITS
is set to RAW; <press> will be a raw A/D pressure count, <temperature> will be in °C.
Comma Separated Variable ASCII
When
FORMAT T
or F is set to C, Data is output in comma separated variable (CSV) and is scrolling at the set rate. This data
can be captured, saved, and opened as a .CSV file. A header row will be output before scan data is output.
<frame number>,<temp 1>,<temp 2>,<temp 3>,<temp 4>,<frame time seconds>,<frame time
nanoseconds>,<press 1>,<press 2>,<press 3>, <press 4>, <press 5>,<press 6>,<press 7>,<press 8>,<press

27>,<press 28>,<press 29>, <press 30>,<press 31>,<press 32>
If UNITS is set to an engineering unit value; <press n > will be a value in EU, <temp n > will be in °C.
If UNITS is set to RAW; <press n > will be a raw A/D pressure count, <temp n > will be in °C.
If PTPEN is set to 0, the Frame Time Seconds/Nanoseconds will be the frame time relative to 0 (scan start time).
If PTPEN is set to 1 or 2, the Frame Time Seconds/Nanoseconds will be an absolute PTP time.
Binary Scan Data Formats
The MPS4200 can be configured to output Binary scan data in several formats. The format is configured with the FORMAT
variable, using F (FTP/UDP) or B (Binary Server). Scanivalve has incorporated several binary packets for diverse configu -
rability. Most Binary packets, when collected to a file, can be converted to a readable ASCII format using ScanTel (excluding
LabVIEW® binary packets).
Binary data formats follow network byte order (big endian).
Table 5.1 - Standard 32 Channel Binary Data Packet
This is the standard binary packet for the MPS4232. This packet is a total of 196 bytes. This packet is used when SET SIM == 0
and FORMAT F or B is set to B.
FUNCTION BYTES DATA TYPE DESCRIPTION
Packet Type 4 Integer B Hex
Frame Number 4 U Integer The current frame number if in the scan mode.
Frame Time (sec) 4 U Integer
Frame Time in seconds.
This value will either be a time relative to 0 (when PTP is disabled),
or an absolute PTP time.
