If the data were captured to a file and then copied to a line printer the printout
would look something like this:
$ 49895.131,1249
$ 49895.376,1287
$ 49995.517,1245
$ 49995.293,1272
$ 49995.835,1229
$ 49995.071,1281
$ 49995.159,1298
$ 49995.508,1214

Counter modules can be daisy chained to form multiple sensor arrays as shown
in Figure 14. Note that the output data from counter 0 goes into the input port of
counter 1, and so on. This allows each counter module to append its output data
onto the end of the data stream coming from the previous counter(s). As each
counter receives data characters from previous counters they get echoed to the
next. An exception to this is the carriage return/ line feed sequence. The carriage
return is replaced by a comma and the line feed is ignored. Thus one long
concatenated string from all counters is output from/through the last counter, and
is terminated by a carriage return/ line feed sequence by the last counter only.
Note that only the first counter outputs a preamble character (the default
character is '$').
