Message Formats
Observation Messages
Observation messages are fixed, and always contain all observations and
calculation outputs, regardless if individual sensors are present or not.
Observation values and results derived from missing sensors are
presented by one or more slash '/' characters in place of the value.
CSV
CSV message consists of header and tag/value pairs separated by
semicolons. The actual message does not contain linefeeds; the
description is split into two lines for readability.
