Note: Only Particle data
types have numbers in
their strings.
Particle data items are typed specially. They contain numbers,
sometimes a space and sometimes a period used as a decimal point.
These entries are used to identify particle channel sizes and are always
expressed in microns. These types represent raw counts only.
Data Units Registers
The 33xxx register series identifies the units used by data items in the
30xxx series. The Units Registers are paralleled by the Data Registers.
For example, Data Register 30010’s Units Register is 33010.
Note:
Not all data types
have units.
Units are stored as 4 character ASCII strings across 2 registers. If the
Units string contains less than 4 characters, or no characters at all, the
