5.7.2 Command 'c'- Sub-command Index 01: Start Stream(s)
This sub-command is used to start the delivery of any previously configured host stream in a
module. If the stream started is "unbounded", then it will be necessary to use the Stop Stream
sub-command to stop it. Otherwise, a bounded stream will end automatically if a finite number
of scans has been specified for it. This sub-command may also be used to resume a previously
stopped host stream that has not transmitted all requested data scans. The sub-command's
format is:
Description : This sub-command starts a particular specified host stream ( st =1-3), or starts all
configured host streams with a single command ( s t=0). Each autonomous host stream scan
begins with a 5-byte fixed-format (binary) data header ( tssss ). The first byte ( t ) identifies the
host stream, while a 32-bit unsigned binary (big-endian) sequence number ( ssss ) completes the
header. This sequence number will start at one (1) for the first scan returned by a stream and
increment for each other returned scan of that stream. In the case of an unbounded data
stream, the sequence number may overflow the maximum permissible 32-bit integer value. If
this occurs, the sequence number value will wrap around to zero (0) following the largest 32-bit
(unsigned) value (4294967295) and then continue to increment by one for each returned scan.
The sequence number field is intended to provide a mechanism for host software to ensure that
host data stream scans are processed or stored in the order in which they were obtained by the

' dddd' are the acquired datum values for each
selected channel of each selected group, in the
selected format. Each formatted datum is a 9, 13, or
17 byte ASCII string with one or more leading space
characters (except the binary formats (f=7 or 8) which
are contiguous 4-byte IEEE floats in big- or little-
endian, respectively)
