The display for calculated gravity values will look like this:
Inactive channels will be omitted from the display, as will any reading that’s below the threshold
value.
Binary Output Format
The g-Analyst has a binary mode feature. In this mode, a ‘ready’ string (‘#R$’) is transmitted
and the g-Analyst waits for one of three commands from the host computer:
1.
Ready: sending a capital ‘R’ character (0x52) at any time will cause the g-Analyst to
respond with the ‘Ready’ string (‘#R$’) once it has completed all current measurements.
2.
Abort: sending a capital ‘A’ character (0x41) will cause the g-Analyst to stop any data
output and respond with the ‘Ready’ string (‘#R$’). You can now hit the space-bar to
return to the top level menu.
3.
Start: sending a capital ‘S’ character (0x53) will cause the g-Analyst to respond with the
‘Ready’ string (‘#R$’) and then begin transmitting the following data string:
