Teledyne API Model 300M CO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 04033, Rev. A

Table 7-2: RS-232 Message Types

Character	Message Type
W	Warning
C	Control/status
D	Diagnostic
T	Test measurement
V	Variable value
?	HELP screen

The "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.

The "IIII" is a 4-digit analyzer I.D. number.

The "MESSAGE" field contains variable information such as warning messages, test measurements, DAS reports, etc.

The "<CRLF>" is a carriage return-line feed combination which terminates the message and also makes the messages appear neatly on a printer.

Input messages to the Model 300M have a format which is similar to that for output messages:

X COMMAND<CRLF>

The "X" indicates the message type as shown above in Table 7-2and "COMMAND" is the command type, each of which is described individually below.

The "<CRLF>" is used to terminate the command. Typing "<CRLF>" a few times by itself is a good way to clear the input buffer of any extraneous characters.

7.1 DAS Reporting

Data from individual Data Channels in the DAS system can be retrieved through the RS-232 interface. The command format for printing the data for a Data Channel is shown below:

D [id] REPORT “name” [RECORDS=number] [COMPACTVERBOSE]

parameters in [ ] are optional

id is the analyzers ID number (SETUP-MORE-COMM-ID)
