7.5.1.5 Data Format
Data Format
is used to determine what format the data is transmitted in. This
is the format of the data sent over the satellite. The TX321 does not determine
the actual data format used, but can be set to match the data format selected
with this instruction. Use
0
for CSI floating point Pseudo Binary. Use
1
for
floating point ASCII. Use
2
for 18-bit signed integer Pseudo Binary. Options
3
through
8
are used for RAWS7 or Fire Weather applications.
In data loggers that support strings as a data type, all data format options
except
3
(RAWS7) will support strings. Strings are transmitted from the first
character until the null terminator. If strings contain illegal characters, the
TX321 will replace the character with another character. By default, the
replacement character is an asterisk. The replacement character can be
changed.
Both the random and timed buffers of the TX321 can be set to
accept ASCII or Pseudo Binary data. If the TX321 is set to Pseudo
Binary, all ASCII data is transmitted as the replacement character,
which is an asterisk by default. When the TX321 is set to ASCII
data, both Pseudo Binary and ASCII data are transmitted
normally. Data format options 0 and 2 are Pseudo Binary, all
others are ASCII.
When transmitting random messages in Pseudo Binary format, the
message counter must be turned off (RMC=N). The message
count is a simple three-digit count of how many times the
transmission has been repeated. Digits 0 to 9 are not legal
characters in Pseudo Binary mode and are replaced at transmission
time with the replacement character specified by the IRC
command. The default IRC character is *. If the random message
counter is on when the random data format is set to Pseudo Binary,
the first three characters sent are 0x20,0x20,0x2a (space,space,*)
instead of the intended 0x20,0x20,0x31 (space,space,1).
The order data appears in each transmission can be controlled.
Only whole records are copied from the data logger to the TX321.
Each record is copied in the same order it appears in the data
logger memory. The order of data records, oldest to newest or
newest to oldest, can be controlled. To arrange data records oldest
to newest, execute the
GOESData()
instruction when data is
written to the data table. To arrange data newest to oldest, execute
the
GOESData()
instruction once per timed transmission. Either
method works best when the
Table Option
is set to 0.
