General Output Message Format

Reporting of status messages for use as an audit trail is one of the two principal uses for the RS- 232 interface. You can effectively disable the asynchronous reporting feature by setting the interface to quiet mode. All messages output from the analyzer (including those output in response to a command line request) have the format:

X DDD:HH:MM IIII MESSAGE

X is a character indicating the message type, as shown in the following table.

DDD:HH:MM is a time-stamp indicating the day-of-year (DDD) as a number from 1 to 366, the hour of the day (HH) as a number from 00 to 23, and the minute (MM) as a number from 00 to 59.

IIII is the 4-digit machine ID number.

MESSAGE contains warning messages, test measurements, DAS reports, variable values, etc.

The uniform nature of the output messages makes it easy for a host computer to parse them.
