6.1 Data Messages General

The CS135 can provide a variety of data message types to allow efficient output
of data. Not all messages provide the full information available but these
messages may be more efficient in terms of data storage and transmission.

CL31 and CT25K messages follow formats used by common existing CL31 and
CT25K sensors allowing easier replacement or network expansion.
