First Command Option (Parameter 5)

Output Mode:
0 No output format string
1 Convert location to ASCII floating point. Add character/delimiter between

values if enabled. The last value will not have a delimiter after it.

2 Convert location to ASCII hex pair. Add character/delimiter between values

if enabled. The last value will not have a delimiter after it.

3 Convert location to 8-bit binary. Add character/delimiter between values if

enabled. The last value will not have a delimiter after it.

4 Convert location to 16-bit binary. Add character/delimiter between values if

enabled. The last value will not have a delimiter after it.

Transmit a user-defined string 0-255 or fixed string 256-511.

String type formatter; this is used where input; location data is to be
transmitted in a complex format. See Output Formats in Section 3.

String Number or Delimiter Character:

If output mode 9 is chosen this is the string number 0..255. If the string is not
allocated then the formatter will not operate. If mode 8 is chosen, then this is
the user defined string 0-255 or fixed string 256-511. If output modes 1 to 4 are
chosen, then this specifies the delimiter character as an ASCII code 0..255. 999
means character not enabled.

Second Command Option (Parameter 6)

This is used for filter set-up if data is expected back after output.

Input Mode:
0 No filter
1 Convert any ASCII numbers to Campbell Scientific floating point up to the

termination character if set

2 Convert any ASCII hex pair to Campbell Scientific floating point up to the

termination character if set

3 Convert 8-bit binary number to Campbell Scientific floating point up to the

termination character if set

4 Convert 16-bit binary number to Campbell Scientific floating point up to the

termination character if set.

Transmit a user-defined string 0-255 or fixed string 256-511

String filter type. See Filter Strings in section 3.

String Number or Character Code

If input mode 9 is chosen, this is the user-defined filter string number 0..255 or
fixed filter string 256..511 used for the filter; if the string is not allocated the
filter will not operate. If input mode 8 is chosen, this number is the defined
string 0-255 or fixed string 256-511. If input modes 1 to 4 are chosen, this is
