7.2 DATA FORMAT
7.2.1 ouTpuT DaTa (oD)
OD (output data) Speed-torque data is a fixed-length string in ASCII format with a floating point
decimal. Use the following string format:
SddddddTdddd.R(cr)(lf)
Or
SddddddTdddd.L(cr)(lf)
Where…
S = Speed in rpm. (No leading zeroes are used.)
d = Decimal digit 0 through 9.
T = Torque in units selected during setup. (The torque value always contains a decimal point.)
L = Counterclockwise dynamometer shaft rotation (left).
R = Clockwise dynamometer shaft rotation (right).
. = Decimal point. (The decimal point location depends on the specific dynamometer and
torque range in use.)
Note: When an “A” is in the R/L position (e.g. SdddddTdddd.A(cr)(lf)),
it is an indication that the unit is in an alarm condition.
Note: The (cr) and (lf) characters will not display.
