4.5.2 Data format
When a result array is downloaded to HyperTerminal, all data from the test are sent
without pause. The data flow cannot be stopped or paused.
Figure 3 shows channel number, start date, start time, and the format of the
downloaded data. BOD values in mg/L follow. Only the first data points, of a
maximum of 360 equal distance points, are shown in this example. Each line ends
with a carriage return and a line feed. The end of the data stream is shown by a
message such as “Test Run to Completion” and a dollar symbol ($).
If small negative BOD values are seen at the start of a test, refer to Troubleshooting
on page 37.
