command described earlier. When each set is finished being processed, the
input buffer is cleared to wait for the next set of characters.
AUTO Format
For the simplest AUTO report type, with no group number, date or time
stamp, each line will be parsed from left to right using blanks and commas
as delimiters between data values. The carriage return and line feed
characters are also ignored. The first group report will take up to 16 data
values, then the next 16 go into group 2, the next 16 into group 3, and so
on until the last character has been reached.
For example, consider 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 MCC-545C. 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
