SHEFFIX
All formats will place all the required values for one measurement before
proceeding to the next. More recent readings go first.
The pseudobinary formats are fully described in Data Transmission Formats.
Pseudobinary is a relatively compressed ASCII data format that allows three
bytes for every sensor reading. Here is an example:
B1@@Gt@Gs@Sx@Sr@@i@@iI
The CSV format is an extremely verbose human readable format only suitable for
diagnostics. It's full name is Sutron Standard CSV and it is the same format that
X-Link's downloaded logs are in. Here is an example of the format:
09/14/2009,12:30:00,TEMP,28.5
09/14/2009,12:00:00,TEMP,29.0
09/14/2009,12:00:00,BATTV,13.53
09/14/2009,12:00:00,ANA,-7.5
SHEF and SHEFFIX formats are described in details in the Data Transmission
Formats section. The SHEF formats are ASCII and legible. They include the
measurement label, measurement interval, and age of the most recent reading
along with the sensor data. The example below illustrates the SHEF format:
:HG 0 #15 10.20 10.15 :PC 0 #15 50 49 :TA 0 #15 -22.1
-22.0 :VB 0 12.2
7.2.1.4. Tx Alarm Data
Tx Alarm Data helps set up the data content for alarm transmissions. The options
are Single Meas and All Meas.
If Alarm Data is set to All Meas, then alarm transmission data content will
contain the last reading from each active measurement.
When Alarm Data is set to Single Meas, the alarm transmission will only have the
reading that caused the alarm.
7.2.1.5. Retransmit
If enabled, Retransmit will cause X-Link to retry all missed transmissions at a
future date. Please see the Retransmissions section for details (page 50).
