Returns the most recent scanned/averaged data from all channels of the 
module as fast as possible.  Data is returned directly in its internal (IEEE 
single-precision float) binary form (as per implied format 7).  It is used as a 
faster alternative to the Read High-Precision Data (‘r’) command, since ‘b’ 
does not have to parse the position or format parameters, nor does it have 
transform or encode the internal data into any other format when the 
response is generated.

 

“b” 
 
‘b’  is the command letter 

“aaaabbbbcccc..rrrr” 
 
each 4-byte datum (e.g, ‘aaaa’) is a non-human readable 32-bit (4-byte) 
big-endian value (format 7) representing an  IEEE single-precision internal 
float value. 

 
Description:  Returns data for all of the module’s channels, in order highest channel number to  
 

 

  lowest channel number.  Thus for a Model 9116, channel #16 will always be the  

 

 

  first 4-byte (32-bit binary, big-endian, IEEE floating-point) value (‘aaaa’) sent in  

 

 

  the response. It is followed by similar values  for lower numbered channels.  

 

Unless the EU conversion scalar is altered, the returned data will be in units of  
psi. 

● 

Send command to a module (via its “socket” connection) to return data as fast  

 possible: 

 

 
 

 

“b” 

 

Data from the most recent scan of all the module’s channels are returned in pure  
binary form, 4-bytes per channel (big endian): 

 
 

 
 

 

Note that this response is not shown within quotes “ ” since it is not a valid ASCII
