*Chunk transmission means that the meter transmits data while it is performing measurements.
**A single, long transmission means that all of the data is transmitted at the same time. The meter does not do
other tasks until transmission is complete. This mode is useful and fast only with higher baud rates such as
9600 and 19200. It is not recommended for lower rates.
11.24 Data Format (“DAT FT”)
This item is 1 byte (2 characters). Different bits of this byte specify the data to transmitted in response to
Continuous Communications (see Section 7), V01 and external print commands (See Section 8). This item
uses prefixes G, P, R, and W with the suffix 1B.
Table 11.22 shows bit assignments.

EXAMPLE: You are in Rate Mode using continuous transmission. You want to configure RAM such that the
transmission includes the alarm status character, the RATE value and unit of measure, and the TOTAL value.
