Appendix A: Message Export Description
This describes the format of the message being exported from the receiver through the connector
located on the top of the receiver to another device such as a serial printer or a computer. There are
four choices: Normal Mode, Normal Mode with Split Bits, Diagnostic Mode, and Diagnostic Mode
with Split Bits. All Formats are in the COMMA Delimited form. If you intend to use Telonics Data
Converter (TDC) to log or convert your messages, do not enable Split Bits. TDC supports only a)
Normal Mode or c) Diagnostics Mode.
a) Normal Mode.
“Comma delimited” field information as follows
<LF>yyyy,MM,dd,hh,mm,ss,(?)iiiiii,fff.fff,ddd,ddd…eee..<CR>
where: <LF> = ASCII Line Feed code (0x0A)
y = year (decimal, 2001, 2002, etc.)
M = month (decimal, 1-12)
d = day of month (decimal, 1-31)
h = hour (decimal, 0 - 23)
m = minute (decimal, 0 - 59)
s = second (decimal, 0 - 59)
? = Output error if detected
i = unit ID (decimal, 0 - 999999)
f = Frequency (MHz)
ddd = data bytes (decimal, 0 - 255)
eeee = error messages
<CR> = ASCII Carriage Return code (0x0D)
b) Normal Mode with Split Bits
<LF>yyyy,MM,dd,hh,mm,ss,(?)iiiiii,fff.fff,ddd,ddd…eee..<CR>
where: <LF> = ASCII Line Feed code (0x0A)
y = year (decimal, 2001, 2002, etc.)
M = month (decimal, 1-12)
d = day of month (decimal, 1-31)
h = hour (decimal, 0 - 23)
m = minute (decimal, 0 - 59)
s = second (decimal, 0 - 59)
? = Outputted if error detected
i = unit ID (decimal, 0 - 999999)
f = Frequency (MHz)
ddd = data bytes (decimal,) data broken up as directed in split bit screen.
eee = error message
<CR> = ASCII Carriage Return code (0x0D)
