A2 SERIAL OUTPUT FORMATS
The serial output consists of a number of measurement lines, one line for each update.
Each measurement line consists of a number of elements, separated from each other
by the delimiter string " ; " (space, semicolon, space), in the following format:
<date> ; <time> ; <gas> ; <measurement> ; <units>[ ; <gas> ; <measurement> ; <units>]
where:
An extract from a typical serial output for a 1-measurement Multi Purpose is shown
below:
<date> Is the date on which the data log entry was made.
<time> Is the time at which the data log entry was made.
<gas> Specifies the sample gas measured.
<measurement>
Is an actual sample measurement, as displayed on the
measurement screen.
<units> Is the measurement units, as displayed on the
measurement screen.
"[" and "]" Elements between these bracket symbols are only
output when the Multi Purpose is configured for two
sample measurements. The bracket symbols
themselves do not appear in the output.
