Page 104 MRC-565 Packet Data Radio Operations & Maintenance
For example see the following set of characters:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<cr><lf>
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20<cr><lf>
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28<cr><lf>….timeout
This character set will create two groups where the values 1-16 will go into group 1, and the
values 17-28 will go into group 2. Each report will be time and date stamped using the current
time of the MRC-565. Up to 256 data values can be parsed into 16 groups using this format as
long as the total number of characters in each set does not exceed the buffer size( including all
delimiters).
An Example of an AUTO format with a date and time stamp is:
10/15/01 12:00:00<cr><lf>
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<cr><lf>
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20<cr><lf>
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28<cr><lf>….timeout
Another example:
10/15/01 12:00:00 1 2 3 4 5 6 7<cr><lf>
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17<cr><lf>
18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27<cr><lf>
28<cr><lf>….timeout
For these two formats with date and time above, the port should be setup for an AUTO report
type, then select a date and time option that locates the date and time fields on line 1. Use the
sensor setup command to indicate that the 1
st
sensor is located either on line 2 as in the 1
st
example or on line 1 as in the second example. The AUTO formatting will use the first two
"fields" found as the date and time, then use the remaining fields as the sensor data.
5.10.5 MULTI-LINE Format
For the LINE (multi-line) report type, the first "line" includes all the bytes from the beginning of
the buffer to the first carriage return. Any line feed characters are ignored. The 2
nd
line is all the
bytes from one past the carriage return to the next carriage return and so forth to the end of the
set of characters. The report ends with the last character received prior to the timeout period
with no more bytes being received. This example shows that each line holds only one sensor
value. Reports with both labels and data that have multiple values per line are not yet supported
by the generic driver, but it is possible to report multiple sensors per line when there are no line
labels present on each line.
One example of a multi-line report from the AANDERAA 3660 data logger is shown below:
