4.3.2 COMMA SEPARATED ASCII
Comma Separated ASCII strips all IDs, leading
zeros, unnecessary decimal points and trailing
zeros, and plus signs. Data points are separated
by commas. Arrays are separated by Carriage
Return Line Feed. Comma Separated ASCII
requires approximately 6 bytes per data point.
Example:
1,234,1145,23.65,-12.26,625.9
1,234,1200,24.1,-10.98,650.3

4.4 STORAGE MODULE

The Storage Module stores data in battery
backed RAM. Backup is provided by an internal
lithium battery. The RAM is internal on the
SM192/716 and on a PCMCIA card in the CSM1.
Operating power is supplied by the CR510 over
pin 1 of the 9-pin connector. Whenever power is
applied to the 9-pin connector (after having been
off), the Storage Module places a File Mark in
the data (if a File Mark is not the last data point
already in storage).
The File Mark separates data. For example, if
you retrieve data from one CR510, disconnect
the Storage Module and connect it to a second
CR510, a File Mark is automatically placed in
the data. This mark follows the data from the
first CR510 but precedes the data from the
second.

The SM192 has 192K bytes of RAM storage; the
SM716 has 716K bytes. Both can be configured
as either ring or fill and stop memory. The size of
memory in the CSM1 depends on the PC Card
used. The CSM1 is always fill and stop.
4.4.1 STORAGE MODULE ADDRESSING
The CSM1 does not support individual addresses.
Use address 1 when sending data to the CSM1.
The SM192/716 Storage Modules can have
individual addresses. Different addresses allow 1)
up to 8 Storage Modules to be connected to the
CR510 during on-line output, 2) different data to be
output to different Modules, and 3) transfer of data
from a Module that is left with the CR510 to a
Module that is hand carried to the site for data
transfer ( 9 Mode).
Storage Modules are assigned addresses (1-8) either
through the 9 Mode or with the SMCOM or SMS
software. 1 is the default address when the Storage
Module is reset. Unless you are using one of the
features which require different addresses, you need
not assign any other address.
Address 1 is also a universal address when
sending data or commands to a storage module
with Instruction 96, 8, or 9. When address 1
is entered in the 9 Mode (default) or in the
device code (71, Table 4.2-1) for Instruction 96
or the 8 Mode, The CR510 searches for the
