Examples:
PHYSICAL STATE SHORT
Driver recognizes ‘Physical State’ as attribute 2 and uses method 1 to evaluate the rest of
the line. Driver recognizes ‘Short’ as attribute state with value 8. Therefore, the driver stores
the number 8 at location 2 in the Data Array.
VALUE=77 / 0% OF ALARM / 1.0% SMOKE
Driver recognizes ‘VALUE=’ as attribute 17 and uses method 2 to evaluate the rest of the
line. Driver stores three values; 77, 0 and 1.0 in three consecutive locations starting at
location 17. Note that there is a gap between attribute 17 and the next attribute in the table
sufficient for storing up to 3 values. Note that a slash separates the three values.
AVERAGE VALUE=75 / ALARM LEVEL=145
Driver recognizes ‘AVERAGE VALUE’ as attribute 14 and uses method 3 to evaluate the
rest of the line. Driver stores two values; 75 and 145 in two consecutive locations starting at
location 14. Note that an equal sign ‘=’ precedes each numeric value.
