Use SHEF Codes for Options
This setting is not an append option per se; it controls how the headers for the other append
options. If selected, standard SHEF codes are used as the headers. All the examples below use
SHEF codes.
Battery Voltage
The battery reading measured prior to the transmission. Example: “:YB 12
.50
” would be
formatted if the voltage were 12.5.
Station Name
The station name option appends the customer entered Station Name setting. For Iridium
telemetry, this setting also controls whether the station name is included in the transmission
header.
If the station name were “Small Creek”,
it would be formatt
ed as “:YN Small
Creek
”
Tx time
The time of the current transmission expressed as HHMMSS. ":YD 131015" is used for a time of
13:10:15.
Serial no
This is the serial number of station. The SHEF format would be “
:SN 00001" where 00001 is the
station serial number.
Tx Count
This option provides the count of good and bad transmissions. For a station that has made
19350 good and 2 bad transmissions, the SHEF format would be “:YG 19350 :YH 2”.
Append Options Example
Here is an example of all the append options in a SHEF format using SEHF codes. The order of
the values is battery, lat/long, forward power, reflected power, station name, temperature, time
(HHMMSS), serial number, and transmission count:
:YB 11.99 :YN Small Creek :YD 172100 :SN 00001 :YG 19350 :YH 2
With SHEF codes disabled, the same append options look like so:
:BL 11.99 :NAME Small Creek :YD 172100 :SN 00001 :GOOD/BAD 19350/2
