SERIAL OUTPUT FORMATS
The serial output consists of a number of measurement lines, one line for each
update.
Each measurement line consists of a number of elements, separated from each other
by the delimiter string " ; " (space, semicolon, space), in the following format:
<date> ; <time> ; <gas> ; <meas> ; <units> ; <status>
[ ; <gas> ; <meas> ; <units> ; <status>]
where:
<date>
Is the date on which the measurement was made.
<time>
Is the time at which the measurement was made.
<gas>
Specifies the sample gas measured.
<measurement>
Is an actual sample measurement, as displayed on the
measurement screen.
<units>
Is the measurement units, as displayed on the measurement
screen.
<status>
Up to three letters may be displayed relating to status, these are:
F = fault, M = maintenance required, S = service in progress.
"[" and "]"
Elements between these bracket symbols are only output when
the analyser is configured for two sample measurements. The
bracket symbols themselves do not appear in the output.
An extract from a typical serial output for a 1-measurement analyser is shown below:
19/01/05 ; 14:50:25 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:50:35 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:50:45 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:50:55 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:51:05 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
