(default): converted decimal data
tt.tttt, c, p.ppp, oo.ooo, sss.ssss, vvvv.vvv, x, dd mmm yyyy, hh:mm:ss, n
where
o
tt.tttt = temperature (sent if
OutputTemp=Y
; units defined by
SetTempUnits=
).
o
c = conductivity (sent if
OutputCond=Y
; units defined by
SetCondUnits=
).
c.ccccc if
SetCondUnits=0
(S/m)
cc.cccc if
SetCondUnits=1
(mS/cm)
ccccc.c if
SetCondUnits=2
(µS/cm)
o
p.ppp = pressure (sent if optional pressure sensor installed and
OutputPress=Y
; units defined by
SetPressUnits=
.)
Number of digits to left of decimal place is dependent on pressure
sensor range.
o
sss.ssss = salinity (psu); sent if
OutputSal=Y
.
o
vvvv.vvv = sound velocity (m/sec); sent if
OutputSV=Y
.
o
x = specific conductivity; sent if
OutputSC=Y
(units defined by
SetCondUnits=
).
x.xxxxx if
SetCondUnits=0
(S/m)
xx.xxxx if
SetCondUnits=1
(mS/cm)
xxxxx.x if
SetCondUnits=2
(µS/cm)
o
dd mmm yyyy = day, month, year.
o
hh:mm:ss = hour, minute, second.
Leading zeros are suppressed, except for one zero to the left of the
decimal point. All data is separated with a comma and at least one space.
Example:
Sample data output for real-time autonomous data when pressure sensor is installed,
OutputFormat=1
,
SetTempUnits=0
,
SetCondUnits=0
,
SetPressUnits=0
.
Spaces in this example have been replaced with a · symbol to
better demonstrate the data string
