5.1.1.3 Raw Output Mode
The Raw mode shows the outputs from the analog to digital converters for each sensor.
No compensation or manipulation of the data is performed in Raw mode. Refer to section
8 and appendix B to convert the raw data values to engineering data. The raw counts for Nl,
Nsv, Nh, and Nt are integers between 0 and 65535. The output is sent as space delimited
ASCII characters in the following format:
Date(Month/Day/Year) Time (hh:mm:ss:and hundredths of seconds), Nl, Nsv, Nh, Nt and
a carriage return/line feed (end of scan).
Example scan: 04/14/03 14:23:08.06 15283 22544 61897 13487
