Down-Load Format - GSE 60 SERIES Technical Reference Manual

11-20 Chapter 11
GSE Scale Systems
•
The width of each column of data is set to one plus the larger of the
data size and the column size.
•
A space is transmitted between each column to separate the columns.
All widths specified below do not include the space between columns.
•
The normal printed data size for numeric variables is eight characters.
However, if the value is too large to be represented in eight
characters, then additional characters are sent for that row. This will
disrupt the alignment of the rest of the data in that row. Data for which
units are appropriate will have the data converted to the current units
as previously selected in the weigh modes and the units name will be
appended.
•
The format of the time/date parameter is dependent upon P503 for the
12- hour or 24-hour format, and upon P504 for the USA or
International date format (Variable type must be set to a U-INT at
P686 and style at P688). The width of time/date is 20 characters for
12-hour format and 17 characters for 24-hour format.
•
The width of the VARs (alpha-numeric string type) will be the
maximum size as set in their respective setup modes, P689.
•
Every 55 lines, a form-feed <FF>, character will be sent. Immediately
afterward, the headings also will be resent. Also, after the last record
another form-feed will be sent.

The "Down-load" command, selection 13, is used to transmit the contents
of one of the controller databases in a comma delimited, ASCII file. This
format is suitable for uploading the information into a computer database
or spreadsheet or for transmitting to another GSE 60 Series instrument
using the "Up-load" selection. either the "Upld. new" or "Upld. Updat"
selection.
The following rules describe the format of the downloaded data:
•
Each column is separated by a comma.
•
Each record is terminated by a carriage return and line feed.
•
Alpha-numeric parameters (Strings) are enclosed in quotation marks ("
").
•
All parameters are sent in a minimum width format, with no leading or
trailing zeros or spaces.
