10.6.2. Output Message Structure
Like the Data Record structures, the order and field types defined in each Data Output Record determine
the contents of each Output Message.
Except for the GOES Binary and ARGOS Binary field types, the ZENO
®
-
3200 transmits Output Messages using the standard ASCII character set.
207
Unlike the Data Record structure that is limited to one length and content definition for a configuration,
up to four unique output messages can be configured in the ZENO
®
-3200 within a single configuration.
What is transmitted automatically in an output message can be totally
different from what is logged in each Data Record in the ZENO
®
-3200
memory.
If no Data Output Records specify a field type that transmits data, then no
data will be automatically transmitted by the ZENO
®
-3200.
The order of the Data Output Records that transmit data defines the order
of the data fields transmitted automatically in an output message.
When configuring more than one output message, Coastal Environmental
Systems recommends that you group the Data Output Records common to
each output message together as much as possible. Data Output Records
that define data fields for more than one output message are the exception.
207
ASCII, the acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is an encoding standard
used by computers for 128 characters, numbers, and symbols commonly used in written communication.
The first 32 characters are control characters. The second group of 32 characters contains punctuation
marks, special characters and numeric digits. The third group of 32 characters contains mostly uppercase
alphabetic characters and the fourth group of 32 characters contains mostly lowercase alphabetic
characters.
