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 t he 1st sensor is located either on line 2 as in the 1st
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.
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 second 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:
