MPS4232
Section 5: Software
This is the standard LabVIEW® binary packet for the MPS4232. This packet is a total of 136 bytes sent as 34 array elements.
This packet is used when FORMAT B is set to L. and SIM is set to 0.

This is the LabVIEW® binary packet that simulates a MPS4264 packet. This packet is a total of 264 bytes sent as 66 array
elements. This packet is used when FORMAT B is set to L and SIM is set to 64. Note: This is implemented as a backward
compable MPS4264 LabVIEW® packet. Channel data 33-64 will be padded with 0 and do not represent believable data. This
allows the same packet structure to be used for MPS4200 32 and 64 channel modules in the same soware.

When the MPS4232 is congured to output data via FTP, it must create a le at the desnaon. The table below shows the
common le names and formats for FTP scan data when the dierent formats are used (ASCII, Binary, CSV).
SETTING OF FORMAT VARIABLE TYPE OF SCAN FILE EXTENSION
SET FORMAT F A ASCII nnnn.txt
SET FORMAT F B Binary nnnn.dat
SET FORMAT F C Comma Separated Variable nnnn.csv
