Data Format:
The data stream on the screen represents the flow parameters of the main mode
in the units shown on the display.
For mass flow controllers, there are six columns of data representing pressure,
temperature, volumetric flow, mass flow, set-point, and the selected gas
The first column is absolute pressure (normally in psia), the second column is
temperature (normally in °C), the third column is volumetric flow rate (in the
units specified at time of order and shown on the display), the fourth column is
mass flow (also in the units specified at time of order and shown on the display),
the fifth column is the currently selected set-point value, the sixth column
designates the currently selected gas. For instance, if the controller was ordered
in units of scfm, the display on the controller would read 2.004 scfm and the last
two columns of the output below would represent volumetric flow and mass
flow in cfm and scfm respectively.

Note: On units with the totalizer function, the sixth column will be the totalizer
value, with gas select moving to a seventh column.
