Data is returned to the RS232 Port by the WP-81 in the following format.
Please note that a “ ” shown anywhere in this section denotes one
space.
LLLLCCCCCCcccPPPPPPpppTTTTTTtttdd/mm/yyhh:mm:ss
where…
LLLL is the Log Number. Maximum 4 characters, right justified.
The WP-81 sends Zero for instant readings (section 11.2)
CCCCCC is the Conductivity, TDS or Salinity Data. Maximum 6
characters, right justified.
ccc is the unit description, either “uS”, “mS”, “ppM”, “ppK”,
“%“ or “psu”.
PPPPPP is the pH or ORP/mV Data. Maximum 6 characters, right
justified.
ppp is the unit description, sent as “pH” or “mV”
TTTTTT is the Temperature Data. Maximum 6 characters, right
justified.
ttt is the Temperature unit description. The WP-81 sends
“oC” for real temperature data, or “oCm” when manual
temperature compensation is being used.
dd/mm/yy is the date, month and year data.
hh:mm:ss is the hours, minutes and seconds data.
Notes
1. When requested by a PC with the ?D or ?R commands (section
11.5), the data is terminated with a carriage return.
2. When the data is sent by the WP-81 using the Print function (section
9.4) or the Instant Send function (section 11.2), the data ends with a
carriage return and a line feed.
3. When the Temperature is not within the ATC limits for
Conductivity/TDS/Salinity or pH measurement “ATCLIM” will be sent
instead of the Data.
