RS-232 Output
The Capricorn FLX outputs the weather data over an RS-232 serial
connection.
Once the Control Module is properly connected to a terminal program a
record will be displayed once per second.
The wind speed and direction measurements update once every second.
All other measurements including temperature, relative humidity,
barometric pressure, rainfall, solar, and analog readings update once
every 10 seconds.
The following are examples of the weather data output:
0Cap,0003,Dm=283D,Sm=0.0S,Ua=45P,Pa=29.867I,TA=70.7F,TB=255.
0F,TC=255.0F,TD=255.0F,Rc=0.00I,AA=0.244V,AB=0.592V,AC=0.591V
,AD=0.634V,Dof
"0003" indicates new wind speed and direction measurements
0Cap,FFFF,Dm=282D,Sm=0.0S,Ua=46P,Pa=29.867I,TA=70.7F,TB=255
.0F,TC=255.0F,TD=255.0F,Rc=0.00I,AA=0.328V,AB=0.592V,AC=0.591
V,AD=0.622V,B`z
"FFFF" indicates new measurements for all parameters.
