Serial (RS-232) Output Format

Lasair II Particle Counter Operations Manual Page G-9

TN n Transmit data sample n. Sample n must be a valid sample. The variant “TN

” is equivalent to TF. Data is sent in standard CSV format.

UNITS [F/M] Set particle volume units to either feet

(F} or meters

(M). This

affects displaying normalized data on the LCD, and setting alarms in normalized

data mode. This command is independent of the SVOL command which always sets

volume in feet

Serial (RS-232) Output Format

The data output via the serial port are identical in content and order to those output

in CSV format. See Appendix E for details.
