ASCII Data Formats
Scan data from the MPS4000 can be formatted in six different ways: ASCII (A), Comma Separated Variable (CSV or C),
formatted for VT100 terminals (F), Binary (B) LabVIEW Binary (L) and Statistical Binary (S). The format is selected by setting
the FORMAT configuration variable to A, C, F, B, L, or S respectively. It can also be selected by clicking on the appropriate link
on the “Scan” page when using the Web Browser.
The FORMAT configuration variable sets the format for Telnet (T), FTP (F) and Binary Server (B) separately. See the descrip-
tion of FORMAT for detailed description.
Data output in ASCII, CSV and FORMATTED are typically used for low speed data transfers, less than 10 Hz. Binary data
output is used for high speed data transfer up to 850 Hz. Appendix A shows the binary packet format and Appendix B shows
the statistical binary packet format.
Basic ASCII Data Output
“Table 5-2: ASCII Data Output” shows an example of ASCII data output (SET FORMAT T A):

Notes:
Configuration selected with by setting the “FORMAT” variable to “A”.
Column 1 is the frame number
Column 2 is the channel number
Column 3 is the pressure in either engineering units or raw counts.
Column 4 for the first 8 rows is the temperature of the 8 temperature sensors in degrees C
