In this format every measurement has, at minimum, an explicit unit, parameter, and port
association. A driver written to interpret this format is able to understand output from every
X2Change generation instrument regardless of specific sensor or derived parameter
configuration.
Users are strongly encouraged to use drivers that rely on this output
format.
