Reading is less than one minute old
SHEFFIX is a modified version of SHEF where the data is positioned in fixed spacing so that it will
line up better when displayed. Each measurement reading is given seven bytes. If a reading uses
fewer bytes it is padded with spaces. SHEIFIX transmissions are larger than SHEF transmissions.
15.6.1.1. SHEFFIX Example
:STAGE 0 #2 20.50 20.50 20.50 20.50 :PRECIP 3 #5 12.00 12.01 :TEMP 3 #5 23.5 23.2 :BV 1 #3

15.6.1.2. SHEF Example with Min/Max data included
When transmitting Min/Max data, the formatter includes a timestamp for each value because
the Min/Max data is logged at the time of the occurrence rather than the measurement interval.
Note how in the message below the MX and MN only have one value and the timestamp is
different for each.
:ITEMP 12 #15 25.9018 26.0289 26.0988 26.2451 :MX 64 #60 26.686 :MX 101 #60 27.426 :MN 14
#60 25.891 :MN 131 #60 25.334 :AVG 12 #60 26.169 26.368
15.7. Sutron Standard CSV
Logs downloaded from Satlink will be in the Sutron Standard CSV format. It is possible to transmit
data in the CSV format. However, CSV messages are too large for most applications and are
generally used to help set up a station.
The format was introduced in 2009 and is common to current Sutron products. The general
format specification for Sutron Standard CSV format is
mm/dd/yyyy,hh:mm:ss,label,data[,units,qual][,label,data[,units,qual]]

15.8. ASCII Column
The ASCII Column format is another means of encoding transmission data. A message formatted
with this method would look like this:
