M6 is the raw format containing raw data (A/D values) from the IRGA. It is comma 
delimited.  
 
An example is: 
M6, 44572, 50675, 17603, 17600, 37340, 50292,0x0040<CR> 
 
The format is as follows: 
•  M6: Specifies the data format. 
•  CO
2
 A/D Counts: Proportional to the CO

 reading. 
•  Air Pressure A/D Counts: Proportional to the atmospheric pressure 
reading. 
•  Temperature Probe1 A/D Counts: Proportional to the temperature of probe 
1. 
•  Temperature Probe2 A/D Counts: Proportional to the temperature of probe 
2. 
•  Lamp A/D Counts: Proportional to lamp current. 
•  Last Zero CO
2
: Reports A/D counts of the last zero value. 
•  System Error: Displays error code message. (See Error Messages table)
