i.e. two measured values are available in the buffers.
The measured values, transferred in buffer 0, contain the status information of the device’s
measuring channels.
The channels’ status data is combined to form ‘pseudo-measurements’, where each digit
represents a status. See below for the states’ coding. Positions listed as ‘reserved’ in the table are
allocated to ‘0’.
Block temperature status, ambient
temperature status, laser temperature status,
tilt angle status
x/y/z angle status, snow depth status,
calibration distance status, flags status
