Example value

Description

number

,1234567890

Available on models with snow LED.
Standard linear luminance value taken with the snow LED off. The
value is representative of the brightness (larger number = brighter).
The linear value is a compensated value of 150 times the period counts
or 45000 times the frequency, with a switchover point at determined
by the crossover selection mode on the report interval page.

7-8char

,9.72

Available on models with snow LED.
Snow reading in mpsas which was taken when the snow LED was on.

number

,1234567890

Available on models with snow LED.
Snow linear luminance value. The linear value is computed similarly
to the standard linear value described above.

last two

Carriage return (0x0d), Line feed (0x0a).
