MultiExact Gas Analyser Appendix
APPENDIX
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> ; <meas> ; <units> ; <status>
[ ; <gas> ; <meas> ; <units> ; <status>]
where:
Is the date on which the measurement was made.
Is the time at which the measurement was made.
Specifies the sample gas measured.
Is an actual sample measurement, as displayed on the
measurement screen.
Is the measurement units, as displayed on the measurement
screen.
Up to three letters may be displayed relating to status, these are:
F = fault, M = maintenance required, S = service in progress.
Elements between these bracket symbols are only output when
the analyser is configured for two sample measurements. The
bracket symbols themselves do not appear in the output.
An extract from a typical serial output for a 1-measurement analyser is shown below:
19/01/05 ; 14:50:25 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:50:35 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:50:45 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:50:55 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
19/01/05 ; 14:51:05 ; O2 ; 20.3 ; % ; ;
Alarm information is not provided in the serial outputs.
