Sutron 9210 - Pseudobinary-C Format

39
Battery
Voltage
1
Logger battery voltage measured just prior to
transmission
Pseudobinary-C Format
The Pseudobinary-C format also produces an ASCII report of 6-bit pseudo-binary
formatted values, but with additional fields to describe label and time information. Just as
the “B” version of the format, this format is “pseudo”-binary, because each sensor value
and descriptor is expressed in the range of ASCII characters, but not in such a way that is
readily human-readable.

Name
Bytes
Description
Block ID
1
BLOCK-IDENTIFIER is always sent as "C" to
indicate that this is the pseudobinary C format.
Group ID
1
GROUP-ID can be "1" to indicate a scheduled
transmission, “2” meaning an alarm transmission,
and “3” indicating a forced transmission.
Measurement
Delimiter
1
This byte is always a “+” and it is used to denote
the start of measurement data.
Measurement
Index
(Sequence)
1
The Sequence number assigned by user in the
output telemetry settings. This value is encoded 6
bit binary. Typically, the sequence number assigned
is unique, allowing you to uniquely identify the
data point.
Day
2
This 2 byte encoded 6 bit binary encoded number
represents the Julian day of the year. The day tells
when the most recent (first) sensor reading of this
measurement was made.
Time
2
This 2 byte encoded 6 bit binary encoded number is
a number of minutes into the day. It tells when the
most recent (first) sensor reading of this
measurement was made.
Interval
2
This 2 byte encoded 6 bit binary encoded number
tells the measurement interval in minutes, or the
amount of time between readings of this
measurement.
Measurement
Data
3 for each
sensor
reading
Sensor data encoded 6 bit binary.
