8.1 S-LINK-2 BINARY MODE DESCRIPTION
8.1.1 DESCRIPTION
The S-LINK-2 has two Communication Modes: the Binary Mode for FAST data acquire and the ASCII
mode for slow and high resolution values. The resolution of the Wattmeter Mode is 11- bit, the resolution
of the Joulemeter Mode is 12-bit. The resolution in ASCII mode is 15 bits.
The value in binary mode is coded in two bytes
